Ford Field is built Ford tough, never more so than during the playoff game with the Rams. The covered stadium roared to a record 133.6 decibels, louder than the takeoff of a 747. Kudos to Lion fans, but also to the Rams.
They were mentally solid, in fact, remarkable. Even as a young team, they did not commit a single false start nor an illegal procedure, typical noise induced penalties. Timeouts did spare them two potential delay of game penalties, but with their complex pre-snap motion, that is about typical.
Even in defeat they showed their mettle as a well coached, well prepared team. With some cap space, a solid nucleus of returnees, and a first round draft choice, the Rams should have a wonderful new season.
