Los Angeles Rams DC, Chris Shula And His Wife Jennifer Are Parents Of A Daughter Avery And A Son Bryce

Chris Shula and his wife, Jennifer Shula, recently celebrated their third marriage anniversary.

Shula and the Los Angeles Rams secured a 27-9 victory against the Minnesota Vikings on January 13, 2025.

The Rams’ Wild Card matchup against the Vikings was more than just a game due to the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles.

With the Rams up 10-3 in the second quarter, defensive coordinator Chris Shula brought a blitz on a crucial third-and-seven inside Rams territory.

Since Sean McVay became the head coach of the Los Angeles Rams in 2017, fans of the franchise have had to watch coordinators leave to pursue head coaching opportunities.

While defensive coordinator Chris Sula has yet to be interviewed, NFL general managers nationwide are focused on what Shula does against Minnesota and their star-studded offense.

However, many people around the league are impressed with what Shula has done with a remarkably young defense.

They are also impressed by the performances of the Rams’ day three rookies and UDFA, such as Jaylen, Omar, and Kamren Kinchens.
