Akers has become the bell cow for the Rams, and inefficiency has held him back from big statistical games.

However, part of the reason for that inefficiency is the fact that he’s played against the Bucs and 49ers elite run defenses for 37 of his 54 carries this post season. Cincinnati is 24th in the NFL in YPC allowed. 

In a game where the Rams are nearly 2-1 favorites to win, game script shouldn’t get away from us, and McVay has shown throughout his tenure as the Rams head coach to be a one back coach. Akers once again dominated snaps in the NFC championship game until an in game shoulder injury cost him snaps. 

Number is to low for a player getting Akers type of usage, and I would have made this number closer to the mid to high sixties.
