Kinchens registered eight tackles (six solo) and one interception during Saturday's 13-9 win over Arizona. Kinchens matched a season high with eight combined tackles Saturday and finished second on the Rams in that category behind Kamren Curl and Omar Speights (10 each). Kinchens logged his fourth interception of the year when he picked off Kyler Murray on a pass intended for Marvin Harrison late in the fourth quarter. Kinchens, who was selected in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, has played at least 50 percent of the Rams' defensive snaps in four straight games despite operating behind starting safeties Curl and Quentin Lake. Kinchens is up to 53 tackles (33 solo), six pass defenses (four interceptions, including a pick-six) and one forced fumble through 16 games.
Kinchens recorded six total tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Saints. Kinchens has now accumulated 18 total tackles, one interception and one forced fumble over the Rams' last three games, despite playing just 56, 53 and 43 percent of the team's defensive snaps in those contests, respectively. The rookie from Miami's versatility is part of the reason he keeps seeing the field; in Sunday's win, he played five snaps in the box, 22 at free safety and three in the slot. Even if Kinchens' role does not expand on the Rams' defense, he's expected to continue positively impacting games as the Bills travel to Los Angeles in Week 14.
Kinchens recorded eight total tackles (six solo), one interception and one forced fumble in Sunday's 28-22 win over the Patriots. The 2024 third-round pick from Miami continues to see his role expand on the Rams' defense, recording a career-high eight stops in Sunday's win. Kinchens has also nabbed three interceptions in the past three weeks while playing 51, 76 and 56 percent of the Rams' defensive snaps, respectively. Don't be surprised if the rookie earns more playing time as the season progresses, especially if he maintains his Week 11 performance level.
Kinchens recorded three solo tackles, two pass breakups and two interceptions, including a pick-six, in Sunday's 26-20 overtime win over the Seahawks. The safety also played on more than 50 percent of the defensive snaps. Kinchens has only played on more than half of the defensive snaps twice this season, though perhaps he sees more playing time after this big performance.
