Saw this on ESPN+:
The Bengals had a PBWR of 18%, which was the worst single-game performance by any team in any game during the 2021 season. Likewise, as you can probably guess, the Rams winning on 82% of their pass-rush attempts made theirs the most successful pass rush in any game this season.
The Rams made a strategy adjustment that the Bengals couldn't counter...basically taking Hopkins ability to help away:
Rams bring a sim pressure and drop Miller into coverage. C actually turns right and there's three people focused on Donald, so Rams get three rushers vs. two blockers on the left side, play gets blown up, Donald comes across the formation to clean up. pic.twitter.com/3IyuVGfN68

-Over the next three possessions, they went to a version of this same concept over and over again. They repeatedly brought five men to the line of scrimmage -- something they often do -- but they usually bring those five men to create one-on-one matchups. Instead, they showed five and then dropped one into coverage, which allowed them to keep the benefit of those one-on-one matchups while also staying "safe" in coverage behind.
-Across nine dropbacks on those drives, the Rams sacked Burrow five times and allowed one first down, which came when Burrow scrambled for a fourth-and-1.
