Brady torched them for 432 yards and 103.0 rating.
Murray was great in the 1st game (268 yards, 120.3 rating)
But meh in the 2nd game (383 yards, 72.1 rating)
Rodgers was solid (307 yards, 97.2 rating)
These 4 games, the Rams gave up 24, 37, 36 and 23 points.
Aside from that, they didn't face any great QBs on good teams.
Even in the playoffs they got an easy ride. The Cards were falling apart. Brady lost half his weapons (still scored 27). Then they got Jimmy G with a throwing hand injury.
We'll be one of the 3 most daunting offenses they've faced all year, easily. They padded much of their defensive stats against the likes Dalton, Daniel Jones, Jared Goff, Trevor Lawrence and Tyler Huntley.
Not so fast. (Football Outsider DVOA) they faced #1, #2, #3, #5, #5, #7 & #7 offensives in FB. That’s a pretty steep schedule.
Conversely the Bengals faced the #32, #31, #29, #28, #28, #24, #22 & #20 defensives.
For good measure, the Rams defense finished #5 overall. The Bengals offense finished #19. I doubt we “carve them up” as somebody predicted.
