Rams running back C.J. Anderson and Todd Gurley both ran for

100 yards in Saturday night’s win over the Cowboys. That doesn’t happen often.Anderson and Gurley were the first pair of running back teammates to run for 100 yards in a playoff game together since 1997 Authentic Brandin Cooks Jersey , when Denver’s Terrell Davis and Derek Loville each topped 100 yards in a playoff win over Jacksonville. (Other teams have had two 100-yard rushers in the playoffs since, but only when one was a quarterback.)After the game, both coaches cited the two running backs as key to the Rams’ success.“I thought C.J. and Todd both were outstanding. I thought the offensive line was great from the start,” Rams coach Sean McVay said.“We did not do a good enough job defending the run, obviously Limited Brandon Allen Jersey ,” Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said. “I think there’s a little bit of misperception about how the Rams play offensive football: It starts with the run. They do an outstanding job, week in and week out. And we just didn’t do a good enough job controlling the line of scrimmage, winning our gaps and tackling. Unfortunately for us they were able to run the ball consistently throughout the ball game. They were able to control the tempo of the game because of that.”What’s been fascinating over the Rams’ last three games is how Anderson — who has been cut by three different teams in the last 10 months — has been every bit as effective as Gurley, who signed a four-year, $60 million contract last offseason. If the Rams can run the ball just as well with a guy they picked up off the street Ramik Wilson Jersey , it raises the question of why they should be paying so much for Gurley.That’s been a story around the NFL this year, whether it’s the Steelers getting the same level of production from James Conner as they got from Le'Veon Bell, or the Broncos getting a great season from an undrafted rookie in Phillip Lindsay: Teams can run the ball just as well with low-drafted, low-paid running backs as they can with highly drafted, highly paid stars. It won’t be easy for running backs to get paid this offseason as teams notice that there’s no drop-off in production from a highly paid running back like Gurley to a free agent off the street like Anderson. Former Cardinals safety Kwamie Lassiter died on Sunday after having a heart attack.Lassiter Dante Fowler Jr Jersey Salute to Service , who was 49 years old, joined the Cardinals after going undrafted out of Kansas in 1995 and developed into a starter for Arizona over the course of his eight seasons in the desert. He may be best remembered for his four interceptions against the Chargers in the final week of the 1998 season as they helped the Cardinals win a game that clinched a playoff berth.“We were all devastated to learn of Kwamie passing today and our hearts go out to all of his family and friends,” Cardinals team president Michael Bidwill said in a statement. “Kwamie came to the Cardinals as an undrafted rookie free agent. He not only became a key contributor to our team for eight seasons but continued to make an impact on this community after his playing days ended. He will be missed greatly.”Lassiter closed out his career by playing one season for the Chargers and one season with the Rams. He appeared in 129 games overall and finished his NFL career with 25 interceptions.Our condolences go out to his family and loved ones.
