Earlier games drew 12.26 million and 10.85 million viewers, while Game 4 rebounded to an estimated 13.5 million, suggesting the slump may be an outlier in an otherwise solid series.

Rams don’t have an impressive win on resume

Seven weeks into the 2026 NFL season, the Los Angeles Rams remain an enigma. After a surprising loss to the 49ers on an international road trip, they fell to playoff‑bound foes Denver, Buffalo and Arizona, while their only wins came against a battered Giants, an injury‑hit Eagles squad and a struggling Raiders team. Injuries have shuffled the quarterback room from Jaxson Dart to Jameis Winston to JJ McCarthy, and key playmakers have missed time. With a daunting stretch looming – Green Bay before Thanksgiving, then the Chiefs, 49ers, Cowboys and Seahawks – the Rams' true identity won’t emerge until the season’s final stretch, possibly after the bye week brings back players like Myles Garrett and Davante Adams.
