1. Establish the run game to open up the passing game. The Rams must score early. Their key is use the run to open up the pass but STAY with the run a lot. If the Pats get too far ahead early the Rams could go into panic mode and throw themselves into interceptions, turnovers, QB sacks, and defeat.
2. Control the clock by running the ball (as RedMonquey pointed out), especially in the second half and fourth quarter.
Some are saying the key to the Rams win is their defense and pounding Brady, etc. But that is asking the Rams to do something their lousy defense hasn't done all season. The Rams' chances for success will be much better if they capitalize on the Pats' weaknesses (QB protection is a Pats' strength, run defense is their weakness) with their own strengths (their running game is one of the best in the NFL, their pass defense is pretty weak).
IMO, the Rams playing to their strengths and the Pats' weaknesses are more likely to succeed than asking for some kind of "best-game performance" they haven't done all year. Sure, hope for the best from the Rams weak defense, but rely on a smart strategy to win.
True that.
R u telling us that Brady is going to pick apart those Rams ?
