2) SUH’S STRONG DAY

Defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh was a significant factor in the Rams shutting down the Cowboys ground game, as he quite possibly played his best game in a Los Angeles uniform in the Divisional round.

Suh picked up four total tackles — one for loss — with two quarterback hits. But as head coach Sean McVay put it, those numbers likely don’t tell the whole story of how effective the veteran lineman was.

“[I] thought he was outstanding in those early downs. When he's able to do that, it makes a huge difference,” McVay said. “I thought he really came with a great focus and concentration this week and I think it showed up with the way that he was able to play. Anytime that you're getting that kind of production and even sometimes it might not show up on the stat sheet, but you just look at the way that he influenced and affected the game a lot of the ways that we talk about Aaron [Donald], I thought Suh did that [Saturday] night and it was a big, big-time performance by him.”

Frankly, Los Angeles signed Suh to be dominant in these kinds of games. That he was able to do so is another good sign for the club for this postseason.
