Omar Speights is really coming into his own as a starting linebacker next to Christian Rozeboom. He was outstanding against the run and while he still needs to improve in coverage, he’s playing at a high level. Speights was the Rams’ highest-graded defender in the game, according to PFF.

Rams defensive backs Ahkello Witherspoon and Kamren Kinchens came through again, this time with late interceptions to preserve a victory over the Cardinals.
