Their defense ain’t no KC. But their offense ain’t either.
In the regular season, the KC scoring defense was 8th in points/game and the Rams were 15th. Their pass defense stats were nearly identical in that the Rams were 26th in yards allowed/game and KC was 27th. In terms of offense, KC was 3rd in the league in yards/game and the Rams were 9th. So, in terms of regular season stats, I don't see that the Rams are tougher than KC, nor a more complete team.
The real complete team that we could have faced was the 49ers, whose defense was ranked 3rd in yards/game and 10th in scoring, and 6th in pass defense in yards per game, and at the same time had an offense ranked 7th in yards/game. Kupp and Donald are amazing, but it was pick your poison, as the 49ers had Bosa and Deebo Samuel and Kittle.
