I know, I know. The Los Angeles Rams are coming off of a 11-5 season and and NFC West title and a reclamation on the back of 13 losing seasons and a much-needed (albeit poorly timed...) winning season in LA. And with everything that’s gone down this offseason, people are understandably framing this largely as a Super Bowl or bust campaign. So how could they possibly come out and take an L in the season opener against a team that won just six games last year?
Well, consider how widely people underestimated the Rams last year, yours truly certainly included.
