Durant Has Hit His Form

There aren't many defensive backs in the NFL who have been more impressive lately than Cobie Durant. Durant has been on a roll, as the fourth-year player has carved out a starting role while being one of the most dangerous ballhawks in the NFL.

Durant was big early against Tampa Bay, making a critical pass breakup on Emeka Egbuka in the end zone before again stopping Egbuka on a quick screen early in the game. However, his biggest moment came in the first quarter.

The Rams, already up 7-0, looked to get a stop on defense. On a pass to Buccaneers' TE Cade Otton, Otton bobbled the ball that Durant would get his hands on and strip away to take to the house, extending the Rams' lead to 13 points. The Rams never surrendered their lead for the entire game.

“I thought it was huge and what I think was really cool about that, is we get the stop right away," stated Rams head coach Sean McVay on the interception. "They take the ball, we get the stop, and then the offense goes down and Matthew orchestrates a great touchdown drive culminating in Davante’s touchdown. Then you end up looking at it and you say, ‘Alright, the crowd's fired up.’ I thought it was an amazing atmosphere and environment, really cool."

"I think the players fed off of that and then that really elevated it. It made it difficult for Tampa. You open up the scoring right there and then you could just feel that that momentum was in our favor. We started fast, but I thought that really opened the game up, if you will. I don't think we ever really looked back as a team from that play.”
