Donald&#8217;s departure leaves a significant void in both leadership and on-field production. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Offensively, the Rams maintained a top-10 ranking in EPA\/play, with a balanced attack that leaned slightly on the run. The 2024 season will be a true test of their adaptability and resilience as they navigate without their defensive superstar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/themoneyballer.com\/nfl\/?sport=nfl&amp;week=1&amp;gameid=7193\" title=\"\">Click here for the Week 1 Detroit Lions vs. Los Angeles Rams matchup page<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/themoneyballer.com\/nfl\/\" title=\"\">Shop for Baller Access membership plans<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Los Angeles Rams | NFC West Click here for the Week 1 Detroit Lions vs. Los Angeles Rams matchup page Shop for Baller Access membership plans Head Coach: Sean McVay (8th season) Key Additions: Key Departures: Last Season&#8217;s Results and Interesting Trends (2023): Last Season&#8217;s Ranks (2023): 2024 Season Schedule: Commentary: The Los Angeles Rams [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[74],"class_list":["post-2223","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-betting","tag-nfl"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themoneyballer.com\/access\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2223","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themoneyballer.com\/access\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themoneyballer.com\/access\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themoneyballer.com\/access\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themoneyballer.com\/access\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2223"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/themoneyballer.com\/access\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2223\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2436,"href":"https:\/\/themoneyballer.com\/access\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2223\/revisions\/2436"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themoneyballer.com\/access\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2223"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themoneyballer.com\/access\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2223"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themoneyballer.com\/access\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2223"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
