Chris Shula, the grandson of legendary coach Don Shula, is now the defensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Rams. He will face the Miami Dolphins, a team deeply connected to his family history, on Monday night. Chris was born into a coaching family, with his father, Dave Shula, and grandfather both influential figures in the NFL. He has worked his way up through various coaching positions and was named Rams defensive coordinator this offseason. The Rams' defense has improved recently, winning three straight games and limiting opponents to under 20 points.
