Ford officially finished the game with four combined tackles, 1.5 sacks, and a forced fumble.
The defense played some dominant football against the Rams, holding the opposing offense to a season-low 157 total yards. Rams quarterback Jared Goff earned his lowest PFF grade (50.2) of the season and his lowest since that dreadful performance against the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl (49.1).
