The good stuff vs Rams in Week 11

  1. C.J. Ham embracing being a fullback. Initially a halfback, Ham made the move to fullback and fans questioned whether or not the team would even use one this year. However, Ham has proven to be extremely valuable in both the run and blocking game.
  2. Danielle Hunter’s motor. With Brian Robison active due to his back injury, Hunter found himself with a bigger role this week since the veteran wouldn’t be in the rotation. He took advantage of the situation, getting multiple pressures and even sacking Goff in the game.
  3. Kyle Rudolph has come to play. A big-time catch in the second quarter and first down snag in the first were some highlights of his game this week, but sometimes a lot can be said for a player who gets better in extremely challenging games.
  4. Anthony Harris’ big play. Harris made up for giving up a reception and nearly a touchdown by stripping the ball out of Cooper Kupp’s hands at the one-yard line. Not only that but was aware enough to grab the loose ball to take the ball away from the Rams.
  5. Bower’s first NFL sack! Tashawn Bower has been inactive most of the season, but he finally found the field late in the game as the Rams tried to move the ball in what is essentially garbage time. Bower’s impressive preseason put him on the map, but this sack i the limited playing time says even more about his potential.
