The Los Angeles Rams are one step closer to a trip to New Orleans in February. LA got a huge win on Monday, crushing Minnesota 27-9 in a game that felt over at halftime. The Rams played like a focused team that was motivated to get a win no matter the cost. They played so […]

When the Philadelphia Eagles left the field after successfully defeating the Green Bay Packers on Sunday afternoon, they had no clue who they would be playing in the Divisional Round of the 2025 NFL Playoffs: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Minnesota Vikings, or the Los Angeles Rams. Now granted, the first shoe dropped rather quickly, […]

When the Los Angeles Rams take the field in Week 19, it will be one of the most challenging games in franchise history.

When Sean McVay and Les Snead made the decision to pull the trigger on a trade for Matthew Stafford before the 2021 NFL season, the Los Angeles Rams were in a very different place.

After defeating the Arizona Cardinals, 13-9, it was a great performance from the Los Angeles Rams defense that picked off quarterback Kyler Murray two times, but the second was the most important. Though the Rams made way for tight end Trey McBride to have an outstanding game, defensive back Ahkello Witherspoon would record the game-sealing […]

As a general rule, Matthew Stafford is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. Now, sure, he doesn’t have the generational stats, the incredible accolades, or even the perception around the NFL as an all-time signal caller. But when push comes to shove, and the Los Angeles Rams need someone to step up in […]

Heading into Week 17 of the 2024 NFL season, the Los Angeles Rams completely control their playoff destiny.

The Los Angeles Rams have morphed into a far different team compared to the one routed by the Philadelphia Eagles.

In the National Football League, there are all different sorts of statement wins. Just ask the Los Angeles Rams, because within the last five days, they’ve had two of them.

Usually when a headset breaks it leads to frustration, cursing and a mind-numbing afternoon stuck in the returns line at Best Buy.

Which NFL team has the best secondary? Is it the Denver Broncos? Or maybe the New York Jets? How about the Detroit Lions?
