Each week, we’ll be diving into the Los Angeles Rams’ box score from the previous game and highlighting several interesting and under-the-radar numbers. Here’s what we found from the thrilling Week 5 matchup against the Seahawks.

The second tier of Rams pass catchers had 103 yards

Through the first four weeks, the Rams’ passing attack had relied almost entirely on Robert Woods, Cooper Kupp, Brandin Cooks, and Todd Gurley. The tight ends and other receivers were complete afterthoughts, and nobody had stepped up. But when Kupp and Cooks both left the game with injuries, the second tier of guys came up clutch. Josh Reynolds had his first two catches of the season and finished with 39 yards. KhaDarel Hodge had the first catch of his career, a crucial 14-yard pickup with the Rams trailing in the fourth quarter that would help set up the game-winning field goal.

Tyler Higbee and Gerald Everett combined for 50 yards, easily the most production the Rams have gotten from the tight end spot all season. The under-the-radar guys finally proved they can contribute, and the Rams wouldn’t have won the game without them. It was an extremely positive development for the offense, and the team may really need those guys moving forward. It’s unclear if Kupp or Cooks will be able to play this week in Denver, so it was huge that the likes of Reynolds, Hodge, Higbee, and Everett showed they can be counted on moving forward.

The Rams gave up 5.9 yards per carry

The Rams escaped with the win, but there were still some causes for concern, primarily on defense. The Achilles heel of this Rams team last season was the run defense, and there’s reason to believe it may be a problem again this year. The run defense held up well last week against the Vikings, but Dalvin Cook was playing at well less than 100 percent and Minnesota’s offensive line was banged up. The week before that, the Chargers averaged 7.1 yards per carry.

The Rams were gashed on the ground yesterday, with both Chris Carson and Mike Davis shredding them at times. What makes it even more concerning is that the Seahawks don’t have much talent on the offensive line and have had one of the worst ground games in the league over the past couple of seasons. The Rams will face some strong rushing attacks in the coming weeks, including this Sunday against the two-headed monster of Royce Freeman and Philip Lindsay. Mark Barron finally returned yesterday and should improve things moving forward, but it’s absolutely crucial the Rams get it cleaned up.

The Rams allowed four completions of more than 30 yards

The Rams’ new-look secondary couldn’t have looked much better through the first few weeks. Injuries to Aqib Tailb and Marcus Peters have sent it spiraling in the opposite direction, and Peters has been a liability the past two weeks. After the defense was torched by Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs last week, they repeatedly gave up chunk plays to Seattle.

The secondary allowed four completions of over 30 yards, including a pair of deep balls to Tyler Lockett. Peters hasn’t looked like himself, and it seems almost certain that he isn’t at full health. The Rams secondary has gone from a lockdown unit to a sieve in just a couple of weeks, and it might be in the team’s best interest to let Peters sit a week and get his calf back to 100 percent.
