Sometimes losing is a good thing. At least, that's what Los Angeles Rams fans hope, especially after dropping what appeared to be a surefire Week 3 win against the Philadelphia Eagles. Even still, it's time to move on. And after a second-half meltdown, there are plenty of items to be coached up for Week 4 when the Indianapolis Colts come to town.
One of the best indicators of an analyst's reactions to a loss is how the team shows up in the next week's power rankings. While nobody considers subjective power rankings as the gold standard, they can be helpful with level-setting expectations.
