The opening five game stretch for the Los Angeles Rams always seemed daunting before the season kicked off. After starting the year off with three teams who were in the playoffs just last season—the Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers, and Cincinnati Bengals—LA probably had their Week 4 game against the Indianapolis Colts circled as a slight reprieve. They’ll also face the Philadelphia Eagles next week who are currently 3-0 and played in last year’s Super Bowl.
This week’s game against the Colts now looks much tougher than it did even a month ago.
