NFL.com columnist Jim Trotter said there’s a “growing perception that the more physical and muddy an opponent makes the game, the less the Rams like it.” The Rams have been physically dominated on both sides of the ball over the past couple weeks. In Week 9, the Derrick Henry-less Titans beat the Rams 28-16 while sacking Matthew Stafford five times and picking him off twice. The 49ers on Monday night intercepted two Stafford passes — one for a touchdown — while pressuring him throughout and sacking him twice. It’s a curious trend for a Rams offensive line graded by Pro Football Focus as the best pass-blocking unit in the NFL. Stafford has been terrible under pressure over the past two games, completing six of 18 passes for 37 yards. On Monday night, the Niners defense overwhelmed the Rams, especially when LA was forced into obvious passing situations. Cooper Kupp is likely the only Rams player who can withstand the team’s offensive struggles. Sean McVay will try to right the ship during the Rams’ Week 11 bye.

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports “there’s some optimism” that Aaron Jones (knee, questionable) will play in Week 12 against the Rams. Pelissero noted that Jones will still have to go through pre-game warmups to see if he’s able to play. That means we won’t know his status until the first wave of games has already kicked off. Jones missed last week with the MCL sprain and it was previously reported that he could be held out one more week. The Packers get their bye in Week 13 so an additional game off would give him a long stretch of rest. However, Green Bay takes on the Rams in a game that could ultimately decide the fate of the NFC this week. If Jones is healthy, his team is going to want him back. He will likely give up a little extra work to AJ Dillon if he does suit up, making him a high-end RB2 in Week 12.
