Rams defense excels despite missing key players early in season

The Los Angeles Rams' defense has performed strongly through the first four games of the season, allowing the second-fewest yards per game despite significant injuries. Myles Garrett and Aaron Donald have missed multiple games, with Garrett on injured reserve and Donald returning for select contests. Despite these absences, the Rams rank ninth in points allowed per game and second against the pass. They have made crucial adjustments and excelled on third and fourth downs, showing resilience during the absence of key starters. With several players stepping up, the Rams look to maintain their defensive momentum heading into upcoming games.
