Rams Defense Plays Well In Week 1

The Los Angeles Rams defense was arguably the best in the league in 2020, and they picked up right where they left off in Week 1 against the Chicago Bears. They allowed just 14 points on the night and they were a swarming group all evening. They racked up three sacks and three quarterback hits […]

Cooper Kupp Shines In Week 1
