After two weeks of struggles and disappointing results, the Rams finally righted the ship in Week 17. They snapped their two-game losing streak by beating the Cardinals, 18-7, at home in the season finale.
In doing so, they punched their ticket to the playoffs, setting up a third date with the Seahawks in the wild-card round next weekend. Hopefully L.A. will be healthier for that game after missing Jared Goff, Cooper Kupp and Michael Brockers against Arizona.
Kupp was watching from home and after his teammates secured the win, he shared a post on Twitter celebrating the clinched playoff berth. While it’s not yet clear if he’ll play next week, he says the Rams’ “second season starts now.”
What an effort!!
So proud of each and every one of my guys. Fought together and got the dub!
Second season starts now. Can't wait to get rollin!

Aaron Donald didn’t tweet himself, which is no surprise, but he did retweet the Rams’ post.
