It wasn’t supposed to go this way.
While repeating would have been extremely difficult, the Los Angeles Rams weren't supposed to be where they currently stand. They were supposed to be contenders and make the playoffs. Lose in the playoffs? Fine. They won the Super Bowl last year. Miss the playoffs completely? That’s a disappointment.
This is a team that sits at 3-6 through 10 weeks. It’s the first time since the 2013 and 2014 seasons that the Rams only have three wins in their first nine games.
The Rams have entered unprecedented territory not only under McVay but as defending Super Bowl champions.
