NFL analysts have come around on the Rams during this recent stretch, moving them up consistently week after week in their power rankings. After sinking as low as the mid-20s, the Rams have cracked the top 10 at multiple outlets and are viewed as a legitimate contender.

The only hit the Rams landed on Aaron Rodgers all game long was Kamren Curl’s strip-sack. The defensive line generated very little pressure on the quarterback and though there were positive plays made against the run, the big men up front need to do a better job of collapsing the pocket and making passers uncomfortable.

The Los Angeles Rams have reached the home stretch of the regular season which means there is little room for error. Sean McVay and Matthew Stafford have been exceptional in the month of December during their partnership though and that continued in Week 16 when they went on the road to beat the New York Jets,
