The 11-4 Los Angeles Rams are no longer in the hunt for the NFC West Division title. That honor falls to the winner of the 13-3 Seattle Seahawks and the 12-4 San Francisco 49ers. As of now, Los Angeles is a third-place team fighting for little more than respect and a favorable location in Round 1 of the 2026 NFL Draft.
Ah, but if you accept that, then you are missing the wizardry of this team. Nothing is as it seems. Right now, the team has two games to acclimate injured and backup players into postseason form, and that is exactly what LA is choosing to do.
