Current Record and Remaining Schedule

The Rams’ record this season is a far cry from their 2021 championship run. Their remaining schedule is a mixed bag, with some tough matchups against playoff contenders and some more favorable games against weaker opponents. The Rams will need to win a majority of their remaining games to make the playoffs.

  • The Rams’ current record is 7-6, which is good enough for third place in the NFC West. The division is incredibly tight, with the Cardinals, 49ers, and Seahawks all within a game of each other.
  • The Rams have a challenging schedule remaining, with games against the Buccaneers, Chargers, and Broncos, all playoff contenders. They also have games against the Cardinals and Seahawks, two divisional rivals.
  • The Rams have a good chance to win against weaker opponents like the Cardinals, Texans, and Saints.

Key Players and Performance

The Rams have a number of key players who are capable of carrying the team to the playoffs. However, some of these players have been injured or underperforming this season. The Rams need their star players to step up and play at a high level if they want to make a playoff run.

  • Cooper Kupp is the Rams’ best offensive player and one of the best wide receivers in the NFL. He has been battling injuries this season, but he is still a game-changer when he is on the field.
  • Aaron Donald is one of the best defensive players in the NFL. He is a dominant force on the defensive line and can disrupt any offense. Donald’s ability to get to the quarterback is crucial to the Rams’ success.

  • Matthew Stafford is the Rams’ quarterback and he is capable of making big plays. However, he has also been inconsistent this season and has struggled with turnovers. Stafford needs to be more consistent if the Rams want to make a deep playoff run.

Team Strength and Vulnerability

The Rams have a strong offense, led by Cooper Kupp and Matthew Stafford. They also have a good defense, led by Aaron Donald. However, they have been vulnerable in certain areas, such as their offensive line and their secondary.

  • The Rams’ offensive line has been inconsistent this season. They have struggled to protect Matthew Stafford and have allowed too many sacks. If they can’t improve their offensive line play, it will be difficult for the Rams to make a deep playoff run.

  • The Rams’ secondary has also been inconsistent this season. They have given up big plays and have struggled to cover opposing receivers. If the Rams can’t improve their secondary play, they will be vulnerable against opposing offenses.

Comparison to Last Season

The Rams are a different team than the one that won the Super Bowl last season. They have lost some key players, including Von Miller, Odell Beckham Jr., and Andrew Whitworth. They have also been hampered by injuries this season.
