""Captain Q," said Turner, who played a role in helping the Rams record six sacks against the Cardinals. "There's not really words that can explain - you turn on the tape and you see exactly what he is.""
"Added safety Kamren Kitchens: "Him being off the field, you know, of course, I wouldn't say, a letdown - but it's Q, right? He brings that extra juice that we need.""
"The play ultimately went down as a bend-don't-break moment for the Rams, one in which coach Sean McVay said he was glad his team got "pushed.""
Quentin Lake, a 26-year-old safety and the Rams' defensive captain, is expected to return from a dislocated elbow for the wild-card game against the Carolina Panthers. The Rams allowed 17.2 points per game through the first 11 weeks, ranking second in the NFL, but gave up 24.8 points per game over the seven games Lake missed. Lake provides leadership, versatility and playmaking ability that teammates credit with adding needed energy. Concerns remain about explosive plays after Bryce Young's long touchdown passes in the previous Panthers win and a 43-yard Cardinals touchdown, prompting coach Sean McVay to welcome the challenge.
