Rams' Christian Rozeboom: Records first sack of career
Rotowire
Rozeboom recorded nine tackles (seven solo) and 1.0 sacks during Thursday's 12-6 victory against the 49ers.
Along with leading the team in tackles, Rozeboom earned the first sack of his five-year career, bringing down Brock Purdy on the final play of the game. Rozeboom now sits with 120 tackles (63 solo) on the year, both career highs, and will have another chance to rack up tackles against Aaron Rodgers and the Jets in Week 16.

Rams' Christian Rozeboom: Leads team in tackles
Rotowire
Rozeboom recorded eight tackles (three solo) during Sunday's 44-42 victory against the Bills.
Outside of Rozeboom and Darius Williams, no Ram recorded more than four tackles. It was a fairly miserable overall performance for the Rams' defense, as Josh Allen rang up six total touchdowns and the Rams failed to record a sack or a turnover. An injury-riddled San Francisco offense is a much more tantalizing prospect for Rozeboom and the Rams' defense in Week 15.

Rams' Christian Rozeboom: Breaks through in third year
Rotowire
Rozeboom finished the 2023 regular season with 79 tackles (48 solo), four passes defended and an interception over 17 games played.
After two years of very limited usage outside of special teams, the Rams finally promoted Rozeboom to a starter alongside Ernest Jones to replace the massive production of Bobby Wagner, who returned to Seattle in the offseason. Rozeboom produced modest numbers as a starter, in part due to his usage never peaking above 75 percent of the snaps in any game on the year. He's a restricted free agent, and the Rams may give him another shot to prove his capability as a starter if the price is right.
