Although quarterback Sam Bradford excelled in the no-huddle offense against Atlanta, Rams coach Jeff Fisher said he's not considering using it a lot more often. St. Louis scored three touchdowns in the final 16 minutes, 11 seconds out of the no-huddle.
“We did it because we got behind,” Fisher told the Post-Dispatch.
Fisher noted the team has sometimes gone no-huddle earlier in games, but said there are risks to that approach. “You do it early in the ballgame against a guy like Matt Ryan, go 3-and-out, you got problems,” Fisher said, referring to the Falcons’ quarterback. “You’re putting him back on the field all the time.”
Bradford threw for 352 yards and three touchdowns with one interception in the loss at Atlanta.
