According to Football Outsiders, the 1992 Rams had the second-worst run-defense they had ever tracked.[1] The Rams allowed 383 points, the second most in the league in 1992.[2] The Rams were also second-worst in the league in total allowed yards (5,523), allowed rushing yards (2,230), and yards per rushing attempt (4.8).[3]
