How is the Rams defense so bad?

Really hard to comprehend. Talent is elite on the defensive line. Corners are talented with Shields and AP Marcus Peters. Are they're lbs and safeties garbage? What gives? Seems like they're always garbage against the run, pass, or both

Rams are 4th in takeaways and while they allow a lot of points, they're still better than about 1/3 of the league in ppg allowed.

Garbage? So bad? I'm going to call myth on this one.

Hell, the Chiefs are worse in most defensive categories and they lost tonight. Why not call them out?

I saw tonight that even in a high scoring game they still managed to make some plays those last 10 minutes. 5 TO forced tonight. They made big plays when it mattered.
