Our first month with an app broke our commenting records
A month ago we announced the release of our new app, which you can find here or by searching SB Nation in your neighborhood app store. Quite a few of you have downloaded it over the past month and have been using it. The goal with this app was to make it easier to join […]
NFL says DPI call against Rams in Week 3 was unnecessary
Sean McVay reports the NFL told him that the pass interference call against Josh Wallace on Sunday night football against the Denver Broncos shouldn’t have been called. Simple as that. Except it was called, and the Rams basically sit at 1-2 instead of 2-1 because of it. Well, that call, a blown 16-point lead and […]
The Rams defense isn’t the problem
Defense was a significant problem for the 2025 Los Angeles Rams. Fast forward a year later and they might actually be a defensive-first team. Through three weeks the Rams are currently the seventh-ranked defense in EPA per play. Further, LA is 10th-best in Pro Football Focus (PFF)’s success rate allowed, fourth in explosive play rate […]
Puka Nacua expected to play against Eagles
The Los Angeles Rams expect receiver Puka Nacua to return this Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to Sean McVay. Nacua returned to practiced and participated in a limited capacity on Wednesday. Nacua, who has been listed with both hip and psoas injuries, has not played since Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers. Nacua […]
Game-changing receivers aren’t readily available in the draft
The Los Angeles Rams have had two major wide receiver questions in 2026, one surrounding the impending free agency of superstar Puka Nacua, and the other centering on the team’s decision to draft Ty Simpson instead of a pass catcher. Some people believe that you should not extend a receiver for over $40 million per […]
Should Rams kick the tires on Odell Beckham Jr.?
Odell Beckham Jr. was released by the New York Giants, should the Los Angeles Rams give Beckham a shot to contribute for them in 2026? The last time Beckham and the Rams were together they won a Super Bowl, but that was a long time ago in football years. It’s unclear that Beckham can make […]
RAMalytics: One reason why Rams’ passing game feels anemic
One can attempt to mistakenly place blame for the Los Angeles Rams’ 1-2 start on either injuries or officiating. The real reason for LA’s shortcomings are the fact that their key players are not performing at star levels. Matthew Stafford has objectively been one of the worst quarterbacks in football so far. He’s certainly better […]
How is Aaron Donald’s return going so far?
The Los Angeles Rams might have the worst defensive tackle group in the NFL through three weeks, and Aaron Donald is as much a part of those struggles as anyone else on the team. Regardless of how much anyone expected out of Donald following a two-year absence from football and skipping all of training camp […]
Rams Power Rankings roundup: Week 4
The LA Rams have dropped in most power rankings after losing to the Broncos on Sunday, but still linger around the edge of the top-10. After a dominant first half against Denver, three significant injuries before the second half flipped the script. Both the offense and defense struggled and the Rams surrendered a 16-point lead […]
Could tight end injuries lead to debut of Rams rookie?
Cornerback Jaylen Watson is not expected to play when the Los Angeles Rams face the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 4. The defensive back was carted off of the field on Sunday against the Denver Broncos when he dislocated his shoulder. Rams head coach Sean McVay addressed Watson and other injuries during his Monday press conference. […]
Jaylen Watson may be back for the Rams after Week 4
Jaylen Watson appeared to be seriously hurt in Week 3 when he was helped to the sideline, and road a cart to the locker room, but apparently the Los Angeles Rams are not considering putting him on IR. Now, Watson’s injury may still be serious, but the good news for the Rams is that he […]
Rams snap count review: Can the special teams be repaired?
Closing out an action-packed fourth quarter, a Los Angeles Rams last-second pass was intercepted in the end zone, resulting in a 30-26 loss on the road to the Denver Broncos. In the final 15 minutes, Sunday Night Football viewers were treated to 24 points, an interception return for a score, and numerous explosive plays along […]
The Rams need Puka Nacua more than Puka needs them
It wasn’t long ago that Sean McVay expressed that Puka Nacua had to prove himself as a reliable person before the L.A. Rams would consider extending him like an irreplaceable player, but three weeks into the season it has become apparent that McVay and Matthew Stafford probably need Puka more than he needs them. Puka […]
Rams’ Super Bowl hopes might already be in jeopardy
The Los Angeles Rams’ loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday night was inexcusable and might’ve put their season and Super Bowl hopes in jeopardy. If that’s too much of an overreaction just three games into the season, let me ask you this: Have the Rams resembled a contender at any point through the first […]
Pass protection is more valuable than ever for Matthew Stafford and the Rams
Matthew Stafford did not have his finest game against the Denver Broncos. It wasn’t a complete disaster by any means for the reigning NFL MVP in Week 3. He completed a subpar 54.5% of his passes for a gaudy 390 yards and a pair of touchdowns, but it took him 55 attempts to get there […]
The refs didn’t give up a second and twenty, the Rams did
You can blame the officiating for the latest Los Angeles Rams loss to the Denver Broncos, but I think that misses the point. The Rams had a 16-0 lead lost, retook the lead, late and had the Broncos deep in their own territory on a second and twenty after a holding call against the Broncos. […]
Bill Vinovich is simply awful!
Bill Vinovich has officiated multiple Super Bowls and numerous conference championship games, and the league has repeatedly assigned him to some of its biggest games. But experience and reputation do not make an official immune from criticism when the calls on the field become game-changing. And on Sunday night, Vinovich and his crew once again […]
PFF grades: The short-handed Rams really need someone to step up
If you’re looking for silver linings with the Los Angeles currently 1-2 and tied for last place in the NFC West, you probably won’t find them in this week’s grades from Pro Football Focus (PFF). Sunday night’s loss to the Denver Broncos was heartbreaking all around. LA is short-handed. Usually reliable contributors are not performing […]
Four down territory: Rams must dig out of 1-2 start
The Los Angeles Rams are 1-2 after blowing a 16-0 halftime lead in a 30-26 loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday Night Football. The Rams controlled much of the first half before Denver rallied behind Bo Nix in the second half. Matthew Stafford threw two interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown, while costly […]
Sean McVay after Rams’ loss, “You sign up for all of it”
The Los Angeles Rams lost a tight game to the Denver Broncos on Sunday Night Football by a final score of 30-26, and Sean McVay didn’t have much to say after the loss, other than to reflect, “You sign up for all of it.” Meaning the good times, and the bad. The wins and the […]
5 key plays that led to Rams’ collapse against Broncos
The Los Angeles Rams appeared to have control of Sunday’s matchup against the Denver Broncos, but a series of pivotal plays helped Denver rally for a 30-26 comeback victory. The Rams had opportunities to put the game away, but mistakes, a controversial penalty and two late interceptions ultimately swung the game toward Denver. Here are […]
Rams Winners & Losers: Broncos expose L.A.’s flaws
A lot went right for the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night. They took a commanding 16-0 lead over the Denver Broncos and by the end of the game outgained Denver 482 yards to 257. But the scoreboard doesn’t lie. It’s the only stat that matters when the clock reaches zero. The Rams fell to […]
Rams vs. Broncos final score: Refs fall for Denver’s II act
The Los Angeles Rams blew a 16-point first half lead to the Denver Broncos and lost 30-26 on Sunday Night Football to drop their record to 1-2. The story could have been a fair game fought between two quality teams, but instead the attention should be on a phantom pass interference penalty against the Rams […]
Rams vs. Broncos game thread: Sunday Night Football
The Los Angeles Rams (1-1) travel to take on the Denver Broncos (1-1) in Week 3 of the NFL season in what could end up being a pivotal matchup early in the season for both franchises. Make sure to check out our How to Watch Guide as needed! Both of these squads made it to […]
Rams pregame thoughts: Who steps up to replace Puka Nacua?
After a convincing Week 2 win, the Los Angeles Rams take a step up in class for tonight’s matchup with the Denver Broncos. After rolling up 481 yards last Monday night’s 28-6 win over the New York Giants, L.A. faces a tougher task, particularly throwing the football against Denver’s high-tier tandem of cornerbacks, Patrick Surtain […]
