Los Angeles Rams
The New York Giants beat the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday Night Football, and in doing so they put the Los Angeles Rams and the NFC on notice. Why am I singling out the Rams? First, because this is a Rams’ centric site. Second, because the Rams had a 19-point lead over the Eagles in Week 3, and they lost, whereas the Giants held a double-digit lead and put their foot on the gas for the win.
The Giants took a lead against the Eagles, lost their lead against the Eagles,...

The Los Angeles Rams (3-2) are traveling to the east coast for the third time already this year to face the Baltimore Ravens (1-4). I believe the Rams are better than what their 3-2 record indicates but you are what your record says you are. The running back position, secondary breakdowns, and special teams woes have held Los Angeles back from reaching their potential. Where do I rank them going into their Week 6 tilt with Baltimore? Check out my position by position breakdown for each team below.

A year ago Braden Fiske was one of the NFL’s most impressive rookies. In 2025 he’s failed to make a consistent impact.
Is the Los Angeles Rams interior defensive lineman in the middle of a sophomore slump? Let’s look at a few potential explanations for his apparent struggles and decide whether they are fact or fiction.

The Los Angeles Rams have played five games and it is still difficult to discern how well they stack up against the NFL’s best this season.
LA has notched wins over the Houston Texans, Tennessee Titans, and Indianapolis Colts. They fell short against the Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers.
The Rams will get their shot at the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 7 with a chance at a sweep...

Happy Friday and let’s start our Los Angeles Rams’ links today with a semi-light story about the So-Fi Stadium hawks (did you know the stadium had hawks to keep other birds away?) as apparently the birds went missing a couple weeks ago, but at least one has been found while another reamains missing.
I suppose if you are a lover of birds then this is a not a semi-light story at all!
I thought it was an interesting piece of news, and it had to do with the Rams so I went with it for today’s Random Ramsdom.

The Los Angeles Rams practiced without Rob Havenstein for the second straight day on Thursday, but his name was not the surprise of the injury report: Tutu Atwell was limited with a hamstring injury, the type of issue that notoriously lingers for weeks and could cause the receiver to miss time if he’s not completely healed by Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens.
Although Atwell’s $10 million season hasn’t been impactful in the stat sheet, his absence would cause some interesting decisions to have to be made by Sean McVay and would effect other offensive players on the team.
Atwell...

The Los Angeles Rams may simultaneously have one of the more efficient running back duos in the NFL and also the most frustrating. Kyren Williams ranks fourth in the NFL in success rate at 53.7 percent while Blake Corum has an explosive run rate of 8.3 percent which is the fifth-highest in the NFL.
This has been exactly what the Rams needed out of the running back position this season. Williams remains the singles hitter who can keep the offense on track. Meanwhile, Corum has the ability to hit a double and create the explosive plays.
It’s not a coincidence...

Last time we saw the Los Angeles Rams (3-2) play, they lost a game that many (including myself) thought they should’ve won, and this week they are playing another team that on paper they should beat, and so, I am going to take the L.A. Rams over the Baltimore Ravens (1-4) by a final score 27-13.
Should the Rams be able to put up more than 27 points on Baltimore’s struggling defense? After their collapse against the Philadelphia Eagles and their rough showing against the San Francisco 49ers, I don’t know what this team is capable of, but in the...

When the Los Angeles Rams entered the 2025 offseason, they did so coming off of a game in which they got gashed on the ground. In the NFC Divisional Round, the Philadelphia Eagles rushed for 285 yards and had three touchdown runs of 40 or more yards.
Whether it was reactionary or addressing a need, the Rams made their focus in the offseason on defense to stop the run. They signed Poona Ford in free agency and replaced Christian Rozeboom with Nate Landman. While Bobby Brown III was fine, Ford was clearly an upgrade. Rozeboom had outplayed his status as...

The odd weeks have been giving me trouble. There were seven upsets this past week with the following teams losing: Los Angeles Rams, Philadelphia Eagles, Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Chargers, Arizona Cardinals, Buffalo Bills, and the Seattle Seahawks. All seven teams were .500 or better entering Week 5. Regardless…got to press on with more games. Only two divisional games this week. Here is the NFL Week 6 slate and my predictions…
Week 5 picks: 6-8, Cumulative picks: 45-31-1 / (.590)

The Los Angeles Rams and Baltimore Ravens face off this week in a game that could be considered a must-win for both teams. Both L.A. and Baltimore are coming off bad losses, and are looking to right the ship before things get out of hand—or more so in the Ravens’ case.
This week, I spoke with Nikhil Mehta, Zach Canter and Dustin Cox from Baltimore Beatdown and asked them about John Harbaugh’s job security, the Ravens’ horrific defense and more. Huge thanks to that awesome trio for answering my questions ahead of Week 6!
