No team ever wants to lose 45-6 at home, but maybe that was just the wake-up call the Los Angeles Rams needed. They were embarrassed by the Ravens two weeks ago but ever since then, they’ve been on a roll.
In their last two games, they’ve beaten the Cardinals and Seahawks by a combined score of 62-19 and have seemingly found a rhythm offensively. It’s a big difference from the 11.7 they were averaging in the previous three weeks.
If you ask Andrew Whitworth, the Rams have turned a corner and feel like a different team than they did before. He told that to reporters on Sunday night after the Rams’ 28-12 win over Seattle.
Andrew Whitworth, on whether he thinks the Rams have turned a corner: "I really do. This is a different team, a different mentality. You know what? I think we’re shooting our shot for the next three weeks."

The numbers back up what Whitworth is saying, and it’s why the Rams are 2-0 since that loss to Baltimore. Their win over the Seahawks was particularly impressive, beating a team that had won five in a row and was leading the NFC West.
Now it’s a matter of keeping this up against the Cowboys in Week 15 – another game the Rams essentially have to win in order to keep pace with the Vikings in the wild-card hunt. This team isn’t going to lie down anytime soon, especially not after winning two straight by double-digits.
