If you're watching the Los Angeles Rams play in the NFL playoffs and notice that offensive lineman Kevin Dotson has a bigger helmet than the others worn by his teammates or opponents, you may be wondering what's up with that.
The answer, in short? Safety. He's wearing what's known as a Guardian Cap, which other NFL players have been wearing in games recently. Dotson wore one back in 2024, so this isn't necessarily a new thing for him.

There's your answer!
