5 interesting stats from the Rams’ overtime loss to the Seahawks: Multiple NFL season-highs on offense, a record number of 13 personnel plays
The Rams deployed 13 personnel on 54 of their 88 offensive plays (61.4%) against the Seahawks, their 2nd-highest usage rate of the season and most total plays in the Next Gen Stats era
After averaging just 2.7 yards per play and a 16.7% success rate out of 13 personnel against Seattle in Week 11, the Rams didn’t shy away from going back to it. They doubled down. This game, they averaged 5.9 yards per play and a 44.4% success rate, scoring four touchdowns out of that personnel grouping.
Since 2016, no team has run as many plays out of 13 personnel in a single game as the Rams did on Thursday. They also have games this season with the second, third, fourth, sixth and eighth most plays out of 13 in the Next Gen Stats era.
Nacua set the NFL season-highs in receiving yards (225), receiving expected points added (16.4) and yards after catch (133), according to Next Gen Stats
No receiver this season has had a game like Nacua just did. He set a new career-high in receiving yards just a week after tying his former record, and also surpassed his previous career-high in yards after the catch by 26. His production added an expected 16.4 points to the Rams’ total compared to what the average receiver would achieve in similar contexts. The next-closest player to that level of impact was… Nacua last week with 16.3 EPA.
