“[Chiefs Wide Receiver Kadarius Toney is] a smart kid, and he picks it up easy. He’s always willing to spend time at it, too. He’s not just getting the plays and then not studying. He spends the time at it. He’s very talented.”

–Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid

Rams:

“Definitely gonna miss [A’Shawn Robinson]. He plays a huge part, definitely in the run game..”

–Rams Right Defensive End Aaron Donald

The Rams are a mess,
while the Chiefs are
riding high. The Rams
have health issues and
probably won’t have
Matthew*Stafford.
That’s a problem. The
Chiefs have Patrick
Mahomes and he will
carve up this Rams
defense. Blowout city.

Rams to face Chiefs for first time since epic 2018 game

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — — The Los Angeles Rams and Kansas City Chiefs were oh-so close to playing in the Super Bowl in February.

On Sunday, they’ll get to face each other under far different circumstances at Arrowhead Stadium.

The Rams are off to a 3-7 start, the worst in NFL history by a defending Super Bowl champ, and things only appear to be getting worse. Matthew Stafford is in the concussion protocol, which means unheralded Bryce Perkins will get his first start at quarterback, and his supporting cast will be without injured wide receiver Cooper Kupp and the Rams’ leading rusher, Darrell Henderson Jr., who was released this week.

“It’s been challenging,” acknowledged Rams coach Sean McVay, who is mired in his first four-game losing streak.

“There’s a lot of different things that we’ve worked through as it relates to the injuries, the moving parts, and some of those types of things. And so you just have to be able to say, ‘Alright, who’s up next? What does that look like?'”

Up next for the Rams? One of the hottest teams in the league.

The Chiefs have followed up their brutal AFC title game letdown against the Bengals by romping to an 8-2 start, led by a young and hungry defense and an offense that may be even better without Tyreek Hill on the roster.

Kansas City has the league’s top offense, pass offense and scoring offense through the first 11 weeks, and coach Andy Reid’s group tends to get even better this time of year. The Chiefs have won 24 straight in November and December.

“We have good players, good locker room. Coach that are willing to work. I mean, a combination that does well, but it’s everybody,” Reid offered by way of explanation. “It’s not one thing we’re doing.”

Since the Bengals played spoiler in a Rams-Chiefs showdown in the Super Bowl, the franchises haven’t faced each other since 2018, when they played one of the epic regular-season games in NFL history. Jared Goff threw a 40-yard TD pass to Gerald Everett with 1:49 left to give the Rams a 54-51 victory that day.

Most of the faces have changed, though some remain the same. Aaron Donald will still be trying to chase down Patrick Mahomes, who in turn will be trying to get the ball out to Travis Kelce as quickly as possible.

“They still have a ton of talent. They’re still a great defense,” Mahomes said. “(Donald) strip-sacked me twice when we played them; we have to account for him every time we’re on the field. (Jalen) Ramsey is a great player. They have great players throughout that defense.”

The offense has been another matter this season.

“Without a doubt,” McVay said, “you try to remain positive within the framework of the things you can control and shift your energy and focus toward those things. That will continue to remain consistent for me and for our coaches.”

CAPTAIN COMEBACK

The Chiefs have won after trailing at halftime four times this season, and they improved to 9-6 with Mahomes when they trail after three quarters with their come-from-behind 30-27 win over the Chargers last week. No other quarterback with at least 15 tries has a winning record when behind entering the fourth quarter.

“Hopefully we can try to get some leads going into halftime and make it easy on us,” Mahomes said. “That would help.”

WIDE RECEIVER WOES

The Chiefs hope JuJu Smith-Schuster will play Sunday after spending last week in the concussion protocol. Mecole Hardman is on his second week on injured reserve with an abdominal issue and fellow wide receiver Kadarius Toney missed practice this week with a hamstring injury.

TUTU’S TD DANCE

One of the rare bright spots for the Rams has been Tutu Atwell, who didn’t have a catch as a rookie after they chose him in the second round of the 2021 draft. Atwell finally showed his game-breaking speed and ability last week against the Saints, hauling in a 62-yard pass from Stafford for his first career touchdown.

“It means everything,” Atwell said afterward. “It just means everything.”

RUNNING BACK ROULETTE

The Rams’ decision to waive Henderson, one of their key players last season, means Cam Akers and rookie Kyren Williams will get the bulk of the work Sunday. Akers requested a trade after getting little playing time earlier this season.

REMEMBER ME

There aren’t many players left that played in that 54-51 thriller in 2018, but one of them is Kelce, who caught 10 passes for 127 yards and a touchdown that day. His play hasn’t diminished over the past four years, either. Kelce had six catches for 115 yards and three touchdowns against the Chargers.

“I love the energy that he brings, and I love the positive impact that he has with our team on the sidelines,” Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy said, “so it’s been fun to watch.”

5 things to watch as Chiefs host the Rams on Thanksgiving weekend
from ArrowheadPride.com

It doesn’t appear that this game has the juice to be as exciting as the last time these two teams matched up.

On a Thanksgiving weekend, the Kansas City Chiefs may be thankful for some home cooking against a Los Angeles Rams team that is starting its third-string quarterback and missing its best offensive player in wide receiver Cooper Kupp.

The Chiefs entered the weekend as 15.5-point favorites, per DraftKings SportsBook. It’s the largest point spread of any NFL game this season.

That means this likely won’t look like the last time these two matched up: a 54-51 Monday Night Football thriller in 2018 that Los Angeles won.

I wouldn’t expect those fireworks, but there’s plenty to learn about the Chiefs this week. Here are five things to watch:

1. How dominant can this defense be?

The Chiefs’ defense has been impressive this year, making plays at the right time and getting stops in crucial situations. They’ve held up their end of the deal all season, but this game is an opportunity to prove they can shut down an inferior opponent from A to Z.

With Matthew Stafford ruled out, the Rams’ starting quarterback might be Bryce Perkins, an undrafted free agent from the 2020 NFL Draft class who took his first NFL regular-season snaps two weeks ago. Without Kupp, the Rams’ skill-position group is very underwhelming — and on top of that, the offensive line has been one of the NFL’s worst.

All that considered, the Chiefs’ front seven should be able to control the game against the run and pass; off-ball defenders must be ready for both designed and improvised quarterback runs. If they corral the rushing, they force the Rams to throw — and there should be chances for sacks and turnovers when that happens.

Watch to see if the Chiefs’ defense steps up with that focus to dominate or overlooks a banged-up Los Angeles offense.

2. The running back room

Outside of the Week 4 win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers the last two weeks were the Chiefs’ highest rushing-yardage totals of the season. They were also the two games rookie running back Isiah Pacheco has played the most this year.

With original starting running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire now on injured reserve, Pacheco’s plate may be even more filled up — but his role may be tweaked a bit. Jerick McKinnon is the team’s best pass-down back, but now he’s the only reliable one — so Pacheco may have to be tested more in those spots to keep it unpredictable; last week, he was run over in pass protection to allow a sack on his only pass block of the game.

This could also be the first showcase for running back Ronald Jones, who earned a spot on the initial 53-man roster by looking explosive as a downhill runner in the third preseason game. Jones can break off a big run in similar ways as Pacheco, but one of them is in a rhythm while the other has been on ice.

It’s hard to imagine Jones is inactive this game. Watch to see how much he’s utilized, and how much it impacts the roles of the other two backs.

3. A closer look at the mismatch up front

Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports

The Rams’ offensive line wasn’t anything to be proud of at the beginning of the season — but since, they’ve had their starting left tackle and left guard go on injured reserve, their starting center miss time (including Week 11), and now their backup left tackle is a game-time decision.

Especially with an inexperienced quarterback behind them, this should be a feast for the Chiefs’ pass rush. Defensive tackle Chris Jones will bully the interior and attract double teams constantly, giving everyone else on the line consistent one-on-one opportunities. Any edge rusher going over left tackle should feel good about matching up with Bobby Evans, a career backup that allowed two sacks and three hurries in 28 pass-block snaps last week.

Kansas City’s unit has ballooned to the NFL’s fourth-highest sack total and sixth-highest pressure total for a reason, and it’s why they should be able to wreck this aspect of the game. I’d be disappointed with anything less than a dominant performance.

4. JuJu Smith-Schuster’s return

After missing one week with the concussion he suffered against the Jacksonville Jaguars , Smith-Schuster has been a full participant in practice this week.

Even with wide receivers Mecole Hardman (injured reserve) and Kadarius Toney (hamstring) still not in the mix, Smith-Schuster’s return will come at the expense of the team’s two leaders at wide receiver last game: Justin Watson and rookie Skyy Moore.

In some ways, I feel like Watson was used as a direct replacement for Smith-Schuster in how they aligned — but Moore’s tough catches and plays over the middle were the kinds of plays that Smith-Schuster was making.

With Toney and Hardman being the receivers out of the lineup, Moore’s talents are more fit to replace those specific skillsets — so watch for the rookie receiver to have another impactful game.

5. Any change up at right tackle?

This week, the Chiefs officially activated former starting right tackle Lucas Niang from the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) List that he has been on since training camp. Niang has finally recovered from the patella injury he suffered late in last year’s regular season.

As a reminder, Niang began the 2021 season as the team’s starting right tackle — getting five weeks in before the team made a change and put veteran Mike Remmers in his spot. Niang would return to the lineup four more times that season but left two of those games with injuries — including the season-ending one.

Since the Niang injury, veteran Andrew Wylie has taken every significant right-tackle snap — and while there are flaws, he has settled into an extent this season.

So is there any need for an immediate switch-up? Likely not — but keep an eye on it. Niang’s superior size makes him a more enticing run blocker, but Wylie’s quicker feet probably make him the better pass-protection candidate currently.
