The Los Angeles Rams (3-4) are coming off the month of October and this is their defense’s best of the season so far. Having received several league-leading accolades, the Rams’ scoring defenders are playing their best football at the most crucial time of the season.

Over the past four weeks, the Rams have been the highest-scoring defense in the NFL, posting 15 points, including a fumble recovery and a pick-six interception. From the pass rush to the coverage team, the Rams thrived on the defensive side of the ball, even going 2-2 during the month.

The defense couldn’t have been better on third down in October, either. They led the league with the third-highest conversion rate among opponents (20.0%) and forced 17 punts in the last four games. Holding opposing offenses until long third down conversions made the difference in getting off the field early.

The defensive secondary was on top with four interceptions, tied for sixth in the NFL for the month. The Rams won three in Week 7 against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Recruit Security Jaylen McCollough had two interceptions in the game as a third-year cornerback Cobie Durant caught the fourth of his career. This is a defense that has progressively improved throughout the season, especially in the secondary.
