3. Andrew Whitworth vs. Khalil Mack

This is a matchup between two All-Pros and potentially two Hall of Fame talents. This is a matchup to sit back and watch for the entire game. This likely also will be the matchup that swings the game. For a full, in-depth breakdown check out this link.

For the shortened version, Mack has a good chance to win this matchup. Duh, it is Khalil Mack. Still, Whitworth is no slouch. It takes the perfect reps from some of the best athletes to beat him. However, that has shown to happen from Danielle Hunter, Frank Clark and Bradley Chubb.

All three are superb athletes with excellent hand usage. So is Mack. Mack may not win consistently, but if he can win enough, he can get under Jared Goff‘s skin.

Goff is a much different quarterback when he is rattled compared to when he can work from a clean pocket. If Mack can present that and get Goff off of rhythm early into this game, they can get enough stops to expose their matchups on offense and score on the Rams.
