Davante Adams impact on Rams offense on full display in just one graph

The 10-3 Los Angeles Rams are not infallible. In fact, it's been a series of breakdowns and quick fixes that have kept the team on track so far. And that has been particularly true of the team in recent weeks, having been snapped back to full awareness after losing a mistake-riddled game on the road to the Carolina Panthers.

The brutal truth is that Los Angeles is not a perfect team. But with each week, the team continues to improve. That is exactly what coaches and fans hope for. The most successful playoff teams are typically the healthiest and hottest ones, and LA checks both boxes right now

This offense is getting better with each week, and fans can thank Davante Adams.

Just check out this graph:

In the same way that quarterback Matthew Stafford expanded Sean McVay's ability to improvise on offense, wide receiver Davante Adams has added red zone precision. What does that mean for Week 15?

Davante Adams is a red zone savant in Rams offense

Adams has scored 14 touchdowns in 13 games. only topping that total once in his 12 NFL seasons. If you need to GPS his production, he has four more games remaining on the schedule. At his current pace, he will score 19 touchdowns this season, a career high.

But his magic is more than scoring touchdowns. He has a knack for putting up points at close range and has already tied wide receiver Dez Bryant with nine touchdowns within the five-yard line. He has added that missing keystone that has held LA's offense back.

Along the way, he has mentored other receivers. Best of all, his presence on the football field creates mismatches elsewhere. It's no coincidence that Los Angeles tight ends have scored 10 touchdowns this season. That outperforms any previous McVay season by a significant margin.

No, it's not all on Adams' shoulders. This offense is continuing to evolve. But that evolution could never have happened without Adams' proficiency. It's not a matter of what Adams has done that is so special. It's what he has unlocked in LA's offense that makes him so important to the NFL.

As always, thanks for reading.
