Los Angeles Rams: 3 Vital statistics for 2019 season

The 2019 regular season is rapidly approaching. What are the important numbers when it comes to the defending NFC champion Los Angeles Rams?

In this latest series, we are taking a look at all 32 NFL teams in a statistical sense. Be it history or excellence or an area that could use some improvement. Context is essential here. This series began with the reigning Super Bowl champion New England Patriots and will work its way down to the Arizona Cardinals, who finished a league-worst 3-13 in 2018.  Next up are the defending NFC champion Los Angeles Rams.

In two seasons under head coach Sean McVay, the team has won a pair of division titles and forged a combined 24-8 regular-season record. The team finished second in the league in scoring this past year with 527 points. But McVay’s squad was handled in Super Bowl LIII, becoming only the second team in the series’ 53-year history to not score a touchdown in the “Big Game.”

Throughout this series, we’re going to be looking at the numbers that will define the Rams for the 2019 campaign. Statistics can be manipulated to fit whatever narrative that a given person is trying to push, so the aforementioned context is always critical. Throughout this series, we aren’t just going to throw out statistics in a vacuum.

Instead, we’re going to put these numbers out there and give them the proper dressings to figure out what they have meant for the Rams previously and what they will mean heading into a new season as McCoy’s club looks to return to the Super Bowl for the second straight year.

So what do the following numbers really mean when it comes to the Rams and the upcoming 2019 season?
