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 (Bears were awful), Daniel Jones, Jared Goff, Trevor Lawrence and Tyler Huntley.
This will likely get glossed over, but SNB nailed it.
The Bengals defense has been really, really strong down the stretch as well. I know the Rams defense has more big name talent, but right now the Bengals are playing defense every bit as well as the Rams and I just like our QB better in the big game.
