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 Week 13 matchup against the Lions:

1. Jared Goff averaged just 6.3 yards per attempt

Goff barely averaged 6 yards per pass attempt, by far his lowest number of the season. Before Sunday, he hadn’t even been held below 7 yards yet this year. What makes the performance the most puzzling is that it came against a Lions secondary that is 30th in the league allowing 8.4 yards per attempt on the season.

Goff tossed a bad interception right to multiple Detroit defenders, and also lost a fumble, and it’s probably safe to say it was his worst game of the season. While a lot of it can certainly be attributed to rust coming off the bye week and being a west coast team traveling across the country for the early start time, Goff certainly needs to play better.

The silver lining is that it showed that the team can still win games even when Goff isn’t his sharpest. They won a tough road game in a bad spot even while Goff had his worst game since early last season, and disproved the notion that all of their wins have to be shootouts.

2. Todd Gurley had his longest run of the year

While Goff had his most inefficient day of the year, Gurley had one of his most efficient. He averaged 5.7 yards per rush, his third highest number of the year, and scored two touchdowns on the ground. He also had a 36-yard run, which was his longest of the season.

While Gurley has been having another Offensive Player of the Year quality season, his runs haven’t been quite as explosive as they were last year. That all changed yesterday, as he consistently ran for big gains, including the 36-yarder late in the fourth quarter which essentially sealed the game.

Last season, Gurley had a 30-plus-yard run in five of 15 games, but this was the first time all season he had a 30-yarder. It was great to see Gurley break out of his explosive runs slump, as he had four carries of 15 or more yards on the day. After a somewhat slow start, Gurley has only gotten better as a runner as the year has gone on.

3. The Rams had 11 QB hits

The Rams hit Matthew Stafford 11 times, the second highest total they’ve had this season, trailing the 49ers game by only one. Eight different Rams recorded hits, and it was great to see almost everybody get involved rushing the passer.

Multiple times this season, including the loss to the Saints, Donald has been the only Rams player who recorded a QB hit. Nobody besides Donald has been a consistent pass-rusher this season, so it was huge for somebody like Matt Longacre, who was demoted to inactive against the Chiefs, get a QB hit here.

Dante Fowler had his best game as a Ram, notching a sack and three tackles for loss, and the pass-rush as a whole is trending in the right direction after a very slow start. Stafford was on the run for most of the game, and the defensive front was largely responsible for holding him to 245 yards.
