The Rams’ four-game winning streak couldn’t have come at a better time, going undefeated in December and taking control of the NFC West for the first time all season. With their win over the Vikings on Sunday, the Rams made a big jump in the NFC playoff picture, going from a wild-card team to a division leader.
If they win their last two games, the worst the Rams would finish is third in the NFC. That’s easier said than done with the Ravens and 49ers up next, but they’re now in a great spot in the playoff picture.
Here’s an updated look at the standings following most of Week 16’s action, with only the Saints-Dolphins game left to be played on Monday night.
