From the episode

The Rams offense last year was first DPA per play on first down. They were 22nd on third down. They just were never in third and long.

STACKED’s take

NeutralMatchup

Rams' success depends on avoiding third-and-long situations for Stafford.

Dominique Foxworth notes that the Rams' offense, led by Matthew Stafford, was highly efficient on first down last year but struggled on third down. The key to the upcoming matchup against the 49ers is whether the 49ers can stop the run on early downs to force Stafford into third-and-long situations.
