The Rams are, to many within their fanbase, somewhat of a disappointment. The 49ers are undefeated and the Seahawks are on fire behind Russell Wilson’s MVP-caliber season, while the Rams are sitting at .500 and just sort of...existing. But they’re existing at a reasonably high level, even so.
The Rams have been hamstrung by a lot of turnovers on offense and a quietly mediocre season from Jared Goff, who is not taking the step forward you might have anticipated he would after steeping himself in Sean McVay’s hot water of knowledge.
