Goff leads one of the NFL’s most productive offenses. He has passed for 30 touchdowns with 12 interceptions in a scheme designed by coordinator Ben Johnson, a candidate for numerous coaching jobs. Goff, the No. 1 pick in the 2016 draft, has said he and Rams coach Sean McVay “are good” but there is no doubt that Goff would like nothing more than to defeat the coach and team who gave up on him. Running back David Montgomery has rushed for 1,015 yards and 13 touchdowns, Jahmyr Gibbs 945 yards and 10 touchdowns. Amon-Ra St. Brown, a first-team All-Pro, has been Goff’s top target. The former USC receiver caught 119 passes for 1,515 yards and 10 touchdowns. Tight end Sam LaPorta, who has 10 touchdown catches, is questionable because of a knee injury suffered in the season finale. Former Rams receiver Josh Reynolds is averaging 15.2 yards per catch. Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris, also a candidate for coaching jobs, oversees a unit that features eight-time All-Pro lineman Aaron Donald, who has eight sacks. Rookie tackle Kobie Turner and rookie edge rusher Byron Young have nine and eight sacks, respectively. Safety Jordan Fuller is questionable because of an ankle injury.
