This must be done against Brady or the Rams are at risk of being bundled out of the postseason.
For Matthew Stafford and the offense, it will be much of the same, in keeping with what served them so well against Arizona. Cam Akers was brilliant in the run game, rushing for 54 yards on 17 carries just six months after tearing his Achilles.
Such was the Rams' dominance, Stafford only threw the ball 17 times for 202 yards and two touchdowns. It was a statement performance from Sean McVay's team, with Odell one of the stars.
@ESPNNFL.@obj completes a 40-yard pass to @thereal_cam3!! No, that is not a typo.

It is highly unlikely that the Rams will have it as easy against the Buccaneers but in a win or go home game, nothing is certain. Stafford got the monkey off his back with his first playoff win and will be looking to double his postseason tally against Tampa.
With a frightening defensive front led by Aaron Donald and Von Miller, along with offensive weapons in Akers, Cooper Kupp and Odell, the Rams are expected to go all in and put on a show at Raymond James Stadium.
