Three things to watchAaron Donald vs. the Browns' defensive line
Donald will be difficult for Cleveland to slow down with major i sues up front.Mayfield has been sacked eight times in two games against the aggre sive 3-4 pa s rushes of the Titans and Jets. Donald will try to get around much-maligned left tackle Greg Robinson the Rams' No. 2 overall pick in '14 the draft. Wade Phillips has the same savvy as Dean Pees and Gregg Williams and then some to pre sure Mayfield inside and out.
Myles Garrett vs. the Rams' offensive line
Garrett was an unblockable beast for the Jets. The Rams had their hands full with the Saints' Cameron Jordan from a similar edge rush angle Brandon Powell Jerseys out of a similar base 4-3. Goff has been sacked four times in two games. He'll need the solid protection of the Panthers' game to operate well on the road, where he's tended to struggle in hostile environments.
Todd Gurley and Nick Chubb
Gurley and Chubb were stud running backs together at the University of Georgia and with the QBs having some efficiencyi sues, they need to be fed often here. The Rams have the seventh-best rushing offense. The Browns haven't been nearly as effective, 22nd in the NFL. The Rams come in with Bobby Wagner Jerseys the ninth-best rushing defense, while the Browns are 14th in that category. This favors Gurley to be more productive.
Stat that mattersGoff has either been very good or very bad. Over the past 10 games, including playoffs, he's rated over 100 only three times. The Rams are 3-0 in those games. He's also rated below 80 six times, going 3-3. The Rams can still win with him being off. The Browns won't win unle s Mayfield outplays him.
Rams vs. Browns predictionThe Rams will win because of their superior coaching from Sean McVay and Phillips vs. Freddie Kitchens and Steve Wilks. They will stay committed to the run with Gurley and Malcolm Brown to wear down Garrett and the Browns' defense and limiting the opportunities for Mayfield. Mayfield will respond with his best game, but Gurley will seal the deal by playing strong closer in the fourth quarter again.
