Los Angeles Rams
The Seattle Seahawks wanted these kinds of matchups when they hired defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald to replace Pete Carroll as the head coach two years ago, to go up against the league’s top offensive gurus like Sean McVay and Kyle Shanahan in the NFC West and the playoffs. Now a week after the Seahawks defeated the 49ers by 35 points, it’s up to McVay’s Rams to prove that sometimes you gotta be careful what you wish for when L.A. travels to Seattle for the NFC Championship game.
But although these two teams couldn’t have been closer in the regular season...

One of main negatives constantly tossed about is the Rams defensive pass coverage. In reality, the 2025 secondary has statistically improved over each of the last two seasons. Even so, it’s still a middle of the NFL pack unit and may need a total rebuild for 2026.
The Rams have two corners currently under contract for next season, Darious Williams and Emmanuel Forbes. You could add Josh Wallace, but realistically, he’s made the move to “STAR”. They could also sign Alex Johnson and Cam Lampkin off the practice squad to Reserve/Future contracts. None of these really inspire confidence. Before the...

The Los Angeles Rams are a 2.5-point underdog against the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Championship this Sunday, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. L.A. is coming off a terrible showing in the Divisional Round in Chicago, but will have to step up their game against their red-hot NFC West rival.
Los Angeles defeated the Cardiac Bears 20-17 in overtime over the weekend. The Rams needed a stellar showing from their defense to hold off Caleb Williams’ clutch gene, particularly with Matthew Stafford and the offense struggling with cohesion for much of the game. Similar to the previous win over Carolina, things...

The Los Angeles Rams eliminated the Chicago Bears in a closely fought NFC divisional round game. LA finished on top 20-17.
The effort required contributions from outside the usual suspects, and the Pro Football Focus (PFF) game grades and data support this. Let’s dive in.
In his first game back from injury Dotson allowed only a single pressure in pass protection. He was by far LA’s highest graded player in run blocking at 93.5. The next closest was WR Konata Mumpfield at 77.0.
Dotson proved important in...

The Los Angeles Rams are heading to the NFC Championship after yet another Matthew Stafford game-winning drive in the playoffs. It was the ‘Thiccer Kicker’ who sent the Rams to the NFC Championship Game with the game-winning kick in overtime as the defense forced three turnovers. For the Rams, it didn’t come easy, but they were able to find a way in the cold when many counted them out. Let’s get to our 10 takeaways as we try to process what happened.
It’s hard to talk about this Rams win without first mentioning the...

The Los Angeles Rams pulled off a huge 20-17 overtime win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday. L.A. is set for an epic Round III matchup against the Seahawks in Seattle next week, but they had better play A LOT better if they hope to advance to the Super Bowl.
Ahead of the Rams’ first NFC Championship appearance since 2021, here is the good, the bad and the ugly from the Divisional Round win in the Windy City.
The defense was the only reason L.A. didn’t lose by 30.
They were mostly...

You can call him the “Thiccer Kicker”, you can call hm Harrison Mevis. “Money Mevis”. Will it stick? I don’t know.
What is there to say? The defense was the hero? The special teams did enough? The offense was offensive more often than not? And then when it mattered most…it worked out. It all worked out.
Go Rams! Be ready for the Seattle Seahawks and then the New England Patriots to whoop us. Be ready, they say be ready, be ready.
Thank you for checking out Turf Show Times!
Happy victory Monday!

One of the oldest NFL cliches is “defense wins championships”. That held true for the Los Angeles Rams as they stifled the Chicago Bears on the road en route to a 20-17 victory. LA advances to the NFC Championship game where they’ll travel to face the Seattle Seahawks next week.
The Rams forced three interceptions by Caleb Williams. Cobie Durant caught two—moving him to three on the 2025 playoffs—and Kam Curl nabbed an incredible diving pick in overtime to shift momentum.
Matthew Stafford and the offense, while far from electric for most of this one, took care of business to...

The Los Angeles Rams beat the Chicago Bears by a score of 20-17 in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. This was a tough, tight contest between two storied NFC teams. Both teams had plenty of chances and opportunities to put up points, but credit L.A.’s and Chicago’s defenses for keeping the opposing offenses under control for much of the game.
The game was a back-and-forth affair, with highs and lows for both teams, but it would be the Rams that would end up getting hot at the right time, and winning in the Divisional Round of the postseason.
