2. Los Angeles Rams
The Los Angeles Rams’ performance Sunday night reminded everyone that, yeah, this team was in the Super Bowl last year. They have weapons. They have a solid defense. Jared Goff plays quarterback. Todd Gurley is the running back. Head coach Sean McVay remembers third-and-goal from 14 years ago. These are things we know about the Rams.
What few saw coming, though, was the logjam they provided to Seattle’s impressive boat ride through the NFC West waters. And while a ton of shine from Al and Cris was placed on the Rams’ defense and the performance of Goff, which helped Gurley and vice versa, one line that was repeated throughout the game echoed the day after—paraphrasing: The Seahawks can’t get pressure on Jared Goff.
