Through 7 games we allowed 19 TD and 12 FGs for 24.143 points per game.
Since we've allowed 6 TDs and 4 FGs for 9 points per game.
Compared to every team's entire season (not a fair comparison, but gives you some idea) 24.143 would rank us 25th, 9 would rank us 1st 7.846 ahead of the Seahawks.
Over those 6 games the Rams have scored 5 TD 3 FGs off turnovers plus another 2 if you include turnovers on downs.
Perfect answers,
@Rams and Gators , exactly what I was asking. Thanks for that!
An incredible correlation, see if you can spot on the PFF grades on TJ McD when the Rams D "clicked on".
Same question for Alex Ogletree (that -4.5 in week 12 was San Diego, the closest thing we had to a "setback" week in this 6 week span).
My belief - TJ McD and Ogletree are the best capable and best positioned players to make hugely impacting plays on the Rams D. This was "known" coming into this season, where they talked about TJ McD and Ogletree as being the kind of "jokers" that Williams just LOVES, and that they were poised / positioned to have huge breakout seasons. When they are on and making plays, dominating their competition, the Rams D as a whole becomes dominant.

Looking through other Rams players, nobody else was volatile and had the correlation with Rams D success like TJ and Ogletree. Most were fairly consistent from week to week with minor fluctuations. The only other player who kinda turned it on was The Mighty Quinn waking up around week 8.
Most of the Rams player grades kinda look like this below on Rodney McLeod (not picking on McLeod, just using him as an example), minor variations from game to game, but nothing like the incredible correlation with TJ McD and Ogletree on the success of the Rams D.
