The Rams have faced challenges all season long and they have battled them nicely. Take the NFC Championship game as a great example. The Saints had the Rams on the ropes in the first quarter, they had four opportunities in the red zone and things looked bad. The Rams came out flat in that game and a lot of this was pure adrenalin on the part of the Saints. Drew Brees and company were ready, but not really ready for this Rams defense. The Saints came away with 1 touchdown in that first quarter with 4 red zone visits and even had a pick against the Rams that placed them squarely in scoring position, they couldn’t get it done.
The Rams defense allows points, nobody is saying this unit is an elite squad that will turn the lights out, but what they are capable of is closing the door in the red zone. They proved it in New Orleans.

This game has all the makings of a classic and all the makings of yet another loss from the Patriots. Of course, they are favored. Tom Brady is on the team. Tom Brady my be the best ever but he certainly hasn’t won them all and he can be beaten in this game.
The Rams offense will click against the Patriots defense. Goff will go pound for pound with Tom Brady and the receiving core will outplay the Patriots. The running game will match Mitchel against Gurley, this will be a great contest and Gurley should take this one in a close battle.
