The LA Rams are now 6-1. With any luck, they’ll even have one of the NFC’s top-four seeds soon.
That’s how difficult the standings could be to rise up through this season, including with the 7-0 Arizona Cardinals sitting in front of the Rams with a head-to-head victory. That’s why Sunday’s 28-19 victory over the 0-7 Detroit Lions didn’t feel satisfying.
The biggest issues seem to be with regards to run defense, but could be extended to virtually any plays on offense other than “Matthew Stafford to Cooper Kupp.” The Rams had a fine day against the Lions, but the Lions have been one of the worst teams in the NFL and they remain the only team without a win.
