It’s easy to get caught up in the Los Angeles Rams hype. And there’s hope for reinforcements for their big game against the 49ers. But the Rams win over the Bills does not prove they are a legitimate Super Bowl contender. Matthew Stafford hit high gear, throwing for 320 yards and the clinching score with […]

After securing the win of the weekend with a 44-42 stunner over the Buffalo Bills, the Los Angeles Rams don’t have long to sit back and celebrate, as they’ll be mixing it up in a very consequential division game against the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday Night Football. Win, and they take one step forward […]

Allow me to set the stage: it’s 3rd-and-5, with 1:54 left in the fourth quarter at the 19-yard line down up three. Matthew Stafford dropped back for the Los Angeles Rams versus a zero blitz, and a few seconds later, the game was extensively over: Stafford connected with Puka Nacua on a screen pass, and […]

The Los Angeles Rams are still alive in the NFC playoff picture. Los Angeles got a huge win on Sunday, defeating the Bills 44-42 in an epic interconference victory. The Rams won this game on the back of a historic performance from second-year wide receiver Puka Nacua. Rams head coach Sean McVay spoke glowingly about […]

Heading into the 2024 NFL season, it looked like the Los Angeles Rams were going to be able to field a balanced offense split perfectly between the run and the pass. Sure, McVay is still a pass-loving play-caller, and his three best offensive players are Matthew Stafford, Puka Nacua, and Cooper Kupp, but Kyren Williams […]

When the Los Angeles Rams successfully secured the rights to former first-round pick Emmanuel Forbes off of waivers from the Washington Commanders, it felt like a risk worth taking. Sure, Forbes hasn’t done much of anything in 2024, being effectively benched under new head coach Dan Quinn, but he was just drafted 16th overall last […]

When the Los Angeles Rams signed Jimmy Garoppolo to a $3.18 million contract during the offseason, it led to more than a few confused reactions around Southern California. Why, fans wondered, did the Rams sign a 33-year-old quarterback to back up their 36-year-old quarterback when there were more interesting under-30 players who could theoretically learn […]

When news broke that the Los Angeles Rams had successfully claimed Emmanuel Forbes off of waivers from the Washington Commanders, it raised eyebrows around Southern California. Sure, the Rams’ secondary has been alright in 2024, with free agent Darious Williams working out well and Tre’Davious White already traded to the Baltimore Ravens – where he […]

Usually when a headset breaks it leads to frustration, cursing and a mind-numbing afternoon stuck in the returns line at Best Buy. But in the case of Jared Goff, it led to a complete career resurgence with the Lions. Dianna Russini and Michael Silver both had illuminating recent pieces in The Athletic about Jared Goff’s […]

The Los Angeles Rams were able to take down the New Orleans Saints in Week 13, and Cooper Kupp made history, setting the NFL record for most receptions in his first 100 games, surpassing Keenan Allen. Kupp wasn’t recognized for the record after the game, and head coach Sean McVay noted that he was disappointed […]

In Week 12 of the 2024 NFL season, the Los Angeles Rams had everything to gain but quite a bit to lose in their Sunday Night Football showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles. Sitting in puncher’s range of the top spot in the NFC West, just one game behind the Arizona Cardinals with six games left […]

When the Chicago Bears broke the news that Thomas Brown was going to replace Matt Eberflus as the team’s new head coach, no one was happier about the decision than Sean McVay. Signing the Atlanta Flacons/Cleveland Browns running back to his first NFL coaching job all the way back in 2020, when he was brought […]

As the Los Angeles Rams have ridden the ups, downs, and everything in between of this weird, weird 2024 NFL season, one player who has been absent from the journey, at least on the field, has been Tyler Higbee, the star tight end who tore his ACL and MCL against the Lions in the playoffs […]

When news broke that Demarcus Robinson was arrested by California Highway Police for hitting speeds over 100 miles per hour while allegedly intoxicated, it justifiably made fans question his future with the Los Angeles Rams. Would Robinson, a former Super Bowl Champion who has been LA’s WR3 for much of the season, be suspended by […]

There’s no other way to put it—the Los Angeles Rams were outright embarrassed by the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football in Week 12. Needing a win to get a leg up in the tightly contested NFC West, the Rams failed, losing to the Eagles 37-20 in primetime. It was yet another example of a […]

If the Los Angeles Rams secured the win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football, it would have been the ultimate coming out party to the NFL world. Facing off against the NFL’s top rushing offense, top overall defense, and a passing game ripping up 40-plus yard bombs seemingly on the weekly, beating Nick […]

While Sean McVay pondered about his team’s failures against Saquon Barkley, Los Angeles Rams receiver Demarcus Robinson had problems of his own. And McVay broke his silence on the arrest of Robinson after Sunday night’s 37-20 loss to the Eagles. McVay said he wanted to make sure he had all the facts before digging too […]

Heading into Week 12, the Los Angeles Rams knew the assignment: slow down Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley. Yes, the Eagles have the best defense in the NFL, yes, Jalen Hurts can air it out, and yes, the Philadelphia was without their WR2, DeVonta Smith, but come on, Nick Sirianni’s team lives and dies […]

The Los Angeles Rams were not able to take care of business at home against the Philadelphia Eagles, taking a 37-20 loss and dropping to 5-6 on the season. The Rams came into the game hot, but the Eagles are one of the hottest teams in the league, led by running back Saquon Barkley. At […]

Kyren Williams has been a crucial piece of the Los Angeles Rams’ offense over the past two seasons, solidifying his role as the team’s workhorse running back. However, Williams has shown a recurring issue despite his production: fumbling at critical moments. This issue resurfaced in the Rams’ 37-20 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday […]

As the Philadelphia Eagles prepare for a showdown for the ages in Los Angeles, taking it to the Los Angeles Rams on their home SoFi Stadium turf, one of the matchups fans around the NFL are looking forward to most is the battle between Sean McVay’s offense and Vic Fangio’s defense. Two of the historically […]

Jimmy Garoppolo has yet to see action this season, but he’s doing what he can to help the Los Angeles Rams out. In fact, it looks like the veteran QB is playing a part in the development of the team’s defense. This was discussed in detail by head coach Sean McVay, who opened up about […]

After watching Rob Havenstein hold things down on the right side of the offensive line for much of the season, the Los Angeles Rams were forced to call on Warren McClendon Jr. as their starting right tackle for the first time since Week 2. The results? Well, they were pretty good, much better than his […]

When it comes to the Los Angeles Rams, one thing is for certain: they play in the NFC West. Sure, their record, personnel, and even coaches can change from year to year, as is the case with all NFL teams, really. But ever since the 1967 season, the Rams have been playing in the NFC […]

In Week 12, the Los Angeles Rams have to take on one of the most unstoppable plays in all of football: the Tush Push. That’s right, not only do the Philadelphia Eagles have the best rushing attack in the NFL, the second-best passing defense, and elite performers across their entire roster, but they also have […]

While Jared Verse may earn most of the headlines when it comes to the Los Angeles Rams’ rookie class – and rightfully so, he’s very good – the first-round pick out of Florida State isn’t the only player who is putting in work during his first NFL campaign. Need proof? Well, look no further than […]

Though their momentum was halted just a bit by a Week 10 loss on Monday Night Football to the Miami Dolphins, 23-15, the Los Angeles Rams bounced back in a major way in Week 11 when they took care of business against the New England Patriots 28-22. LA was back in the wins collum, tied […]

When the Los Angeles Rams signed Jonah Jackson earlier this year, it was supposed to seriously upgrade the offensive line. After playing fairly well with Pasadena native Coleman Shelton at center in 2024, the Rams decided that moving Steve Avila to center, a position he played in college, would unlock even more opportunities to get […]

The New England Patriots have found their franchise quarterback with Drake Maye, according to Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay. After their Sunday matchup, McVay immediately knew that the six-time Super Bowl champion franchise had their quarterback of the future. “He looks like a stud,” McVay said, via Mike Reiss of ESPN. “I didn’t […]

After bringing back the dynamic duo of Steve Avila and Jonah Jackson in an ugly effort on Monday Night Football, losing the game 15-12 while the offense looked anemic, the Los Angeles Rams made a big change in Week 11 against the New England Patriots, returning rookie Beaux Limmer to the starting lineup at center. […]

Heading into Week 11, the Los Angeles Rams had a clear advantage on the ground against the New England Patriots. Facing off against a Pats defense that ranks 20th against the run, allowing 1,412 yards on the ground on the season, if Sean McVay committed to giving the rock to Kyren Williams and the rest […]

Drake Maye wasn’t able to lead the New England Patriots past the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, losing 28-22. However, he earned respect from Matthew Stafford and Sean McVay following the loss. The Rams’ quarterback and head coach each spoke highly of the rookie signal-caller who completed 30 of 40 passes for 282 yards, two […]

After weeks of increasingly bad play spurned on by some truly head-scratching offensive play calling, the Chicago Bears officially made a change at offensive coordinator on November 12th, firing Shane Waldron and replacing him on an interim basis with passing game coordinator Thomas Brown. Now, for fans in Chicago, any change is good news, as […]

After getting his start with the Rams in 2019 as an assistant quarterbacks coach under Sean McVay, current Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Zac Robinson got quite the praise from McVay when asked about what stood out about his former passing game coordinator. “Just steady,” McVay said about the former member of his coaching staff. “I […]

The Los Angeles Rams fell 23-15 to the Miami Dolphins in Week 10. It certainly wasn’t the game that fans anticipated out of head coach Sean McVay’s squad, as the team has been putting together a superb effort over their last three appearances. However, the offense took a significant leap back on Monday Night Football. […]

When the Los Angeles Rams took the field in Week 10, it was with yet another new configuration on the offensive line. That’s right, with Rob Havenstein out, and the trio of Joseph Noteboom, Jonah Jackson, and Steve Avila all activated off of IR, McVay trotted out a new-look offensive line that still isn’t the […]

After stringing together four-straight games with at least 20 rushing attempts after a slow start to the 2024 NFL season, Kyren Williams was barely utilized in Week 10, confusingly rushing the ball just 15 times in a game where the Los Angeles Rams couldn’t get much going consistently on the ground. What gives? Why did […]

Rams head coach Sean McVay did not exactly give the fan base the answers they were looking for in his postgame press conference that came after the Los Angeles Rams fell 23-15 to the Miami Dolphins in Monday Night Football action. He was asked to evaluate the team’s overall performance, to which he responded with […]

The Los Angeles Rams had a lot of momentum coming into Monday Night Football in Week 10, but they fell flat on their face in an ugly 23-15 loss to the Miami Dolphins. In the loss, the Rams’ offense struggled all night and failed to find the end zone even one time after a few […]
