After watching Rob Havenstein hold things down on the right side of the offensive line for much of the season, the Los Angeles Rams were forced to call on Warren McClendon Jr.
The Arizona Cardinals ranked dead last in pass rush win rate by ESPN’s standards after Week 1. In Week 1, Arizona sacked the mobile Josh Allen twice, but those came from unlikely sources in backup defensive back Kei’Trel Clark and nose tackle Roy Lopez.
