Kenny Britt Carries the Passing Game

As good as it was to see Tavon Austin catch five passes for 50 yards against the Seahawks after a disappointing Week 1 performance, it was Kenny Britt that came up big for the Rams’ offense in the passing game once again.

Britt led all wide receivers with six catches for 94 yards on 10 targets as the wideout helped take the pressure off Case Keenum at quarterback. For a team in desperate need of a 1,000-yard receiver, Britt seems like the perfect candidate to be the first player to do so for the Rams since 1997 with the way he’s played to start off the season.

Even though he’s never recorded a 1,000-yard season in his career, Britt will have every opportunity to reach that milestone in 2016 with the amount of passes he’s going to receive on offense. Plus, it doesn’t hurt Britt to see defenses focusing most of their attention on his speedy teammate in Austin.
