After catching eight passes for 195 yards and two touchdowns against the Giants, Rams receiver Davante Adams faces Denver on Sunday. This preview expects a tougher outing, citing cornerback Patrick Surtain and teammate Puka Nacua’s doubtful status.
The article says Adams averages 11.1 yards per target against cover one, while Denver, with Surtain, allows 4.9; it also flags Riley Moss and the Broncos’ slot defenders. The writer points to tight end Terrance Ferguson and receiver Jordan Whittington as possible contributors. Ferguson had six catches for 54 yards and a touchdown on nine targets against the Giants, while Whittington is Nacua’s primary backup.
SumerSports figures cited in the article put Denver’s run defense at 5.08 yards per carry allowed, third-worst in the NFL. The Rams average 5.0 yards per carry, 10th-best. The preview says Los Angeles could lean on Kyren Williams and Blake Corum rather than its passing game, which it says has underperformed through two weeks.
