When the Los Angeles Rams take the field in Week 18 against the Seattle Seahawks, Sean McVay’s team is going to look noticeably different than in weeks passed.

As a general rule, Matthew Stafford is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.

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.
