Yep. Redzone defense and our offense finally finding its rhythm got us that win today.

I said to my wife "punt it" when that pass to Puka was incomplete. No way you try a long FG there. You don't need it to win, you're already winning. And fans can question McVay's playcalling but they can't complain, "don't go into a shell" if they do question it. I was glad they passed. That's aggressive and it forces the defense to account for everything. #9 threw a dime to Puka, covered tightly and the DB made a nice play.

Important fact on "why punt". Prior to this game Rams opponents this season had taken over on their own 20 or deeper 19 times and scored 3 TDs. After the game, it's 22 and 3 TDs (2 of those 3 TDs came in the first 4 weeks). Think McVay might have known that?

Including this game, on the season, it's 23 times the opponent started on the 20 or deeper in their end. They have scored 3 TDs, kicked 2 FGs, punted 10 times, ran out of time at the half once, ran out of time in regulation once, fumbled the ball away, threw 4 interceptions and had a safety. But here's the kicker. The last 18 times they've got 1 FG, 9 punts, 5 turnovers, a safety and ran out of time twice. Is our defense learning situational football a little more?

Yeah, I didn't want to see Karty there, and a potential miss giving them the ball near midfield. It was the right call.
