Though maybe it’s time we started sending the Los Angeles Rams flowers, they still manage to go unnoticed.
The majority of people could have continued to believe that they weren’t a good squad in the early going of the season.
However, throughout the last six weeks or so, they’ve been on a roll, peaking and becoming healthy at the appropriate period.
Because of this, NFL pundit Colin Cowherd felt compelled to give head coach Sean McVay props for the “work of art” he and his squad had produced this past month (via The Volume).
He gave him a lot of credit for fixing the offense and special teams, which had serious problems at the start of the season.
This squad looks and feels completely different now that Matthew Stafford has adequate time to throw and Cooper Kupp is back to full strength.
The Rams are currently in the bubble outside of the playoffs, as Cowherd noted. However, they will have ten days to get ready for the New York Giants, and the rest of the schedule won’t be as difficult because they’ll be playing the San Francisco 49ers, who have already secured a postseason berth and their division.
It’s clear that the Rams are not the same force they were when they won the Super Bowl a few years ago.
However, they are a skillfully managed squad with an abundance of lethal weaponry, and that is the last side you want to play against in a game when victory is certain or not.
