Rams PFF grades: Best and worst performers vs. Cowboys
Jordan Whittington, Nick Hampton and Logan Bruss were all among the Rams’ highest-graded players on Sunday
![theramswire.usatoday.com](https://theramswire.usatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/64/2016/02/cropped-ramsnavicon-2.png?w=32)
Top 5 Offense
WR Jordan Whittington: 84.8
LG Zach Thomas: 84.1
RG Logan Bruss: 81.5
C Justin Dedich: 73.0
TE Miller Forristall: 71.1
Whittington was a stud, but so was the offensive line. Thomas, Bruss and Dedich allowed zero total pressures in the game. In fact, A.J. Arcuri and Conor McDermott were the only two linemen to allow any pressures on Bennett.
Forristall caught the game-winning touchdown pass from Bennett and was the fifth-highest-graded player on offense for LA.
Top 5 Defense
OLB Nick Hampton: 87.0
LB Omar Speights: 85.5
S Jaylen McCollough: 78.6
CB Shaun Jolly: 76.1
S Tanner Ingle: 73.5
Hampton was in the backfield constantly against the Cowboys, finishing the game with five total pressures.
For the most part, the secondary held up well against the Cowboys’ receivers, too, led by McCollough, Jolly and Ingle. McCollough was particularly impressive, driving on the ball to make a stick tackle on a short pass into the flat.
Bottom 5 Offense
TE Hunter Long: 52.7
WR J.J. Laap: 51.2
C Mike McAllister: 49.3
TE Davis Allen: 47.2
QB Stetson Bennett: 39.2
Bennett was unsurprisingly the lowest-graded offensive player among those who played at least 10 snaps, throwing four interceptions. Laap was targeted once but didn’t have a reception or any touches in the game. The same goes for Allen, who also had 10 pass-blocking snaps.
McAllister didn’t allow any pressures but his 61.6 run-blocking grade weighed him down.
Bottom 5 Defense
LB Olakunle Fatukasi: 54.5
CB Cameron McCutcheon: 53.1
DT Cory Durden: 47.9
DL Larrell Murchison: 43.7
DT Tuli Letuligasenoa: 30.5
All five of these defenders were among the team’s lowest-graded players for one reason or another. Durden, Fatukasi and Murchison missed one tackle each, while McCutcheon allowed a long 43-yard reception in the first quarter.
Sidenote: I'm on the Logan Bruss Bandwagon!!
