The Los Angeles Rams had a golden opportunity to grab a two-game lead in the NFC West with a win over the Seattle Seahawks. Unfortunately, the offense had its worst game of the season at the most inopportune time, costing the Rams a win.

Los Angeles has had just one game where the offense and defense both played well in the same week, which came against the lowly Colts in the season opener. Wade Phillips’ unit put on a show against the Seahawks, allowing just 241 yards of total offense, which earned quite a few defenders high praise from Pro Football Focus.

Aaron Donald, for one, had a nearly perfect grade at 96.8. Here’s how the top five for the Rams looked:

DE Aaron Donald, 96.8 overall grade

S Cody Davis, 88.4 overall grade

S John Johnson III, 88.2 overall grade

LB Mark Barron, 86.8 overall grade

CB Kayvon Webster, 86.5 overall grade

Donald was in Seattle’s backfield more often than not, recording three solo run stops, eight quarterback hurries and two tackles for loss. As the season has gone on, he’s only gotten better, which should come as no surprise after he missed all of camp and Week 1.

Among the notables on offense were Jared Goff and Tyler Higbee. Goff actually received a better grade in this one than he did in Week 4 (45.2) when he had 255 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions.

Via PFF:

When you go up against the Legion of Boom, you find those windows that little bit smaller than you’re used to. Goff, who came into the game completing 66.7. percent of his passes, was off target throughout, unable to challenge the aggressive Seahawks coverage unit consistently. He was unfortunate with both of his interceptions to some degree, but he just wasn’t accurate enough, especially outside the numbers. There he completed just three of 14 passes thrown further than 10 yards down the field and beyond the numbers, a figure that is not good enough.

Higbee caught four passes for a team-high 98 yards, which earned him a PFF grade of 82.6. It was a career day for the tight end, who was one of Goff’s favorite targets on Sunday. He’s on the rise for the Rams.
