The Los Angeles Rams are officially heading to the playoffs for the third time in four seasons under Sean McVay. On Sunday, they knocked off the Arizona Cardinals, 18-7, finally locking up a spot in the postseason after missing opportunities to do so against the Jets and Seahawks the last two weeks.
The Rams had a great chance to make the playoffs coming into this week, with only one scenario making it possible for them to miss the postseason. It would’ve required them to lose to the Cardinals and the Bears also beat the Packers, neither of which happened.
After going 12 years in a row from 2005-2016 without making the playoffs, the Rams have now made it three times since 2017 – a remarkable feat for McVay during his first stint as a head coach.
After missing the postseason in 2019, the Rams bounced back to secure a spot in the dance by going 10-6 this year. It wasn’t always pretty, and their losses to the Jets and Seahawks were disappointing, but at least they’re one of the final 12 teams left.
Up next, the Rams will face the Seahawks on wild-card weekend, a game that will be played in Seattle.
