Rams lead NFL in key rushing stat thanks to outstanding O-line

The Los Angeles Rams have led the NFL in an important rushing statistic this season, thanks to the exceptional performance of their offensive line. Running back Kyren Williams has accumulated 467 total yards over four games, while backup Blake Corum averages over 5 yards per carry when he reaches double-digit carries. The key to their success lies in the defensive advantage they gain from their powerful offensive line, which effectively moves defenders away from their ball carriers, creating huge gaps for them to exploit.

According to the latest NFL data, the Rams have the best percentage of runs with 0 or fewer yards before contact, clocking in at 32.6%. This impressive statistic is followed closely by the Bengals (35.6%), Bears (36.6%), and Panthers (36.8%). The Rams are averaging over 126 rushing yards per game through four contests, and with the return of backup Justin Dedich and Keagen Trost, their run-blocking line is expected to improve further as they progress through the season.

When their tight end room is fully healthy, the Rams' rushing attack is poised to become even more dominant as the season continues. This promising performance aligns with their 2,000+ rushing yards from last year.
