Budda Baker details how he blew up Rams’ pivotal 4th-down screen
Budda Baker snuffed out the Rams’ screen to Kyren Williams on fourth down, which was a turning point in Sunday’s game.
On their final offensive drive of the game, the Los Angeles Rams found themselves facing a fourth-and-8 situation. This predicament stemmed from a false start on fourth-and-3 earlier in the drive. Before this point, the team had managed to gain 2 yards on a third-down screen pass to Puka Nacua. Aware of Arizona's tendency to blitz Stafford on third and fourth downs, the Rams opted to execute another screen pass in an attempt to counter this strategy.
However, the play did not go as planned. Cardinals All-Pro safety Budda Baker immediately marked Kyren Williams, who was the intended receiver. The pass was incomplete, resulting in a turnover on downs and ultimately contributing to the Rams' defeat against the Arizona Cardinals.
