With multiple players injured on the defensive line and at linebacker, the entire front seven stepped up for Rams against the Raiders and are looking to continue doing so moving forward.
The Los Angeles Rams' defensive front seven successfully adopted a collective "next-man-up" mentality against the Las Vegas Raiders despite facing significant injury absences.
