How Realistic Is the Rams Playoff Challenge?

The Los Angeles Rams are one of the hottest teams in the National Football League. After starting the season 1-4, the Rams have won their last three straight games. They face the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football for a chance to pick up their fourth straight win.

This would be one of the Rams’ most valuable wins this season as it could put them in contention for first place in the NFC West, depending on whether the Arizona Cardinals win or lose. The Rams have a chance to continue a magical run.

But as it stands now, the Rams are still on the outside looking in, and if the season ends today, they won’t be in the playoffs. However, CBS Sports’ Bryan DeArdo believes the Rams are the team currently not in the playoffs and have a chance to get in before the season ends.

“Sean McVay’s team had the edge against the 49ers for a few reasons,” DeArdo said. “One of them is that the Rams’ remaining schedule is easier with five games coming up against teams with currently losing records, including three of the next four games.

“Los Angeles also defeated the 49ers in Week 3, giving them another advantage before the two teams play again in San Francisco in Week 15.

DeArdo noted that the Rams have found their rhythm by staying healthy after an injury-plagued first few games of the season.

“The Rams appear to be making progress after a 1-4 start.” DeArdo said. “They’ve won three games in a row and they’re getting outstanding play from quarterback Matthew Stafford and running back Kyren Williams.

“The secret to the Rams’ recent success has been the play of their defensive backs, led by Jaylen McCollough, Kamren Kinchens, Quentin Lake and Kamren Curl. “Los Angeles will make even better progress with Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua returning from injury.”

Aries almost control their own destiny. If they keep winning they will probably finish first in the division. Winning the division would guarantee the Rams a home playoff berth.

Whether it’s home or away, it would be historic if the Rams make the playoffs after a 1-4 start.
