Rams Super Bowl chances hinge on 3rd down success
The Los Angeles Rams have played 86 regular-season games from Week 1 of 2021 through Week 1 of 2026. A lot of their success as a offense has been their ability to keep pressure on opposing defenses by moving the chains. Eventually, defenses bust their coverage and the Rams find their way in the end […]
Rams Week 2 power rankings round-up: LA drops from top spot
After a very surprising showing in a Week 1 loss to the 49ers, it’s no surprise the Rams have slipped in almost every power ranking. The lone exception was Complex.com’s Matt Burke, who kept at L.A. at the top spot despite the loss and injury to Myles Garrett. Most writers seem to have adopted a […]
Will Aaron Donald suit up for Rams on Monday?
Will Aaron Donald make his 2026 debut on Monday Night Football against the New York Giants? The Rams may need him. With Myles Garrett out, and the entire team looking middle of the pack (at best) against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 1, the Rams may need Donald to help them get back in […]
Rams believe Myles Garrett will only miss the minimum 4 games, per report
The Los Angeles Rams and Myles Garrett decided together that it was best for him to get surgery now to address his knee injury with the hope that he will be 100-percent when he returns from injury reserve in a month, according to a report by Ian Rapoport on Monday. Rapoport detailed the thought process […]
Giants aren’t the pushovers they were expected to be
The Los Angeles Rams were supposed to get a soft landing when they returned from Australia with a Week 2 home game against the New York Giants, but if Week 1 is any indication then John Harbaugh’s new look G-Men are anything but an “easy win”. The Giants beat the Dallas Cowboys 28-20 on Sunday […]
The Giants stole 49ers’ playbook and that is bad news for Rams
The San Francisco 49ers know the recipe for a win over the Los Angeles Rams—and that was on full display again in a stunning Week 1 upset in Australia. The bad news for the Rams is that their next opponent, the New York Giants, seem to have found San Francisco’s cookbook in the back of […]
Sean McVay Meter: Fans’ confidence in coach after Week 1
One game does not define a season, but Rams fans have every right to feel frustrated after what unfolded in Melbourne. The Los Angeles Rams entered Week 1 with high expectations, only to deliver a disappointing performance against the San Francisco 49ers. When a team struggles in multiple areas, the head coach is naturally going […]
Rams had amazing offseason, dud Week 1
The Los Angeles Rams had one of the best on paper off-season’s in modern sports, then followed that up with a horrible Week 1. Things can always be worse, but the Week 1 that L.A. just has proven again why picking a Super Bowl winner in August is nearly an impossible task. Starting with the […]
Rams have mixed results rebounding from Week 1 losses
The Los Angeles Rams lost their season opener for the third time under Sean McVay on Thursday against the 49ers. Los Angeles has a mixed track record in the McVay era when rebounding from a Week 1 loss. Under McVay, the Rams are 7-3 in season openers since the start of the 2017 campaign. The […]
Myles Garrett’s injury is a big opportunity for Josaiah Stewart
The Los Angeles Rams placed star pass rusher Myles Garrett on injured reserve Sunday, ruling him out for at least the next four games. While, of course, this is mostly unfortunate news for the team, if we apply the “never waste a good crisis” logic we can find some silver linings. One of the developments […]
Giants get back Malik Nabers, 1 week before Rams game
The New York Giants are set to have number one receiver Malik Nabers when they face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 2. Nabers, who was a Pro Bowl player in 2024 as a rookie, is active for the Giants on Sunday night, less than a year after a devastating knee injury. If Nabers makes […]
Aaron Donald is no longer just a luxury for the Rams’ defense
The Los Angeles Rams suddenly need Aaron Donald more than they could have imagined this offseason. It’s been a common refrain for fans around the league, pundits, analysts, that the Rams don’t even need Donald, one of the greatest defensive players in NFL history, because of how good the rest of the defensive line and […]
Myles Garrett knee injury lands Rams’ edge rusher on IR
Myles Garrett will undergo arthroscopic surgery on the knee injury that has recently limited him, so the Los Angeles Rams plan to place their star edge rusher on injured reserve. This means that Garrett will miss at least the next four games, and the earliest he could return is October 18 against the Cardinals. Garrett […]
The Rams have to get more from Davante Adams
Davante Adams is not the reason the Los Angeles Rams lost their season opener to the San Francisco 49ers. To boil it down to that would be insane. That being said, if the Rams want to hit their offensive peak this season, they will need more out of the former All-Pro. It’s completely fair to […]
Rams suggested as landing spot for reunion with former tackle
The Washington Commanders released tackle D.J. Humphries on Friday, opening the door for him to return to the Los Angeles Rams as insurance for A.J. Jackson if that’s something both parties are interested in. Humphries appeared in eight games with the Rams in 2025, including one start in place of Jackson. It is also possible […]
Jaylen Watson on wrong end of 2 TD passes in Rams debut
Rams cornerback Jaylen Watson was only blamed for one touchdown pass surrendered in his last two seasons with the Chiefs, but L.A.’s $51 million investment has already allowed twice that many in 2026. Although “blame” on touchdown passes can be difficult to ascertain, especially if it’s simply because Watson was the closest defender in the […]
Myles Garrett, Rams, may have a knee problem
Myles Garrett did not get off to the start that he wanted to in Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers, and though there were/are some positive signs, Garrett stating after the game that more or less he wasn’t himself due to injury, should be concerning. Even if only in the short-term. Garrett can put […]
Week 1 always lies. These parts of the Rams’ loss might not.
Week 1 of the NFL season is certain to bring unexpected outcomes. For instance, the Seattle Seahawks fell short to the San Francisco 49ers in Sam Darnold’s first game last year before going on to win the Super Bowl. The New England Patriots, who also made the final two, suffered a loss in the opening […]
College football game day thread
After a couple of weeks baking cupcakes, FBS football gets a little meat on the bone, matchup wise. The biggest play of the weekend is the battle between #1 Ohio State and #4 Texas, pitting two top QB/WR pairings. Julian Sayin and Jeremiah Smith for the Buckeyes versus Arch Manning and Cam Coleman for the […]
Rams snap count review: Are the linebackers pulling their weight?
After being out-coached, out-played, and yes, out-classed 27-7 by arch rivals, the San Francisco 49ers in their opening game, it is obvious that the Los Angles Rams have many holes to fill before they can begin to fulfill the high expectations that were bestowed upon them. TST pondered about three philosophies that could be holding […]
I wouldn’t want to be Jaxson Dart next week
Myles Garrett is still the best defensive player in football and that makes the New York Giants the unfortunate team that has to face him when he’s as pissed off and motivated as he’s ever been. With as many factors working in Garrett’s favor as were working against him in Week 1, that makes Giants […]
Rams fans react to 49ers loss: ‘Is Davante Adams washed?’
In the wake of the L.A. Rams’ 27-7 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, hot and lukewarm takes about the state of the franchise have been rolling in like California wildfires. The people at the center of those opinions are mostly the stars of the team like Matthew Stafford, Sean McVay, Myles Garrett, and Davante […]
Rams’ travel plan was a bust, never to be repeated
The Los Angeles Rams’ travel plan for their game against the 49ers in Australia on Thursday proved a massive bust. LA’s plan was risky from the start and should never be repeated by a team traveling to the continent again. Both the Rams and 49ers had different strategies for going down under (hate how that […]
Sean McVay says ‘put the blame on me’ after Rams loss
In the NFL, when a team loses, the head coach often gets plenty of credit, whether that’s fair or not. In a loss, the head coach typically gets heaps of blame, whether that’s fair or not. In Sean McVay’s latest press conference after his team’s latest loss to the San Francisco 49ers he makes one […]
The Rams have invited a QB controversy
It was fair to expect regression from Matthew Stafford’s MVP season heights. It’s rare to see a quarterback play at such a high level into his late 30’s—and even more rare for them to accomplish such a feat for the first time a decade and a half into their career. No one saw a total […]
