Drake Maye’s debut reinforces why Matthew Stafford won MVP

Editor’s note: A previous version of this article contained a joke Twitter post that was presented as fact. We regret the error. Drake Maye could have won last season’s MVP trophy if he had received just one more first place vote, but the Patriots quarterback’s poor play on Wednesday night against the Seahawks only reinforced […]

Rams were lucky to miss out on Maxx Crosby, A.J. Brown trades

The Los Angeles Rams explored trades for both Maxx Crosby and A.J. Brown in the spring, according to Tom Pelissero. Those deals may have improved the team at the time, but by having the ammunition to trade for Myles Garrett in the summer, the Rams were able to get two-for-the-price-of-one when the move compelled Aaron […]

Rams-49ers keys to victory: Keep Christian McCaffrey in check

The Rams and 49ers will open the 2026 NFL season against each other in a highly anticipated NFC West showdown. The game is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 10, at 5:35 p.m. PT (8:35 p.m. ET) at Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia, with the matchup streaming on Netflix. The rivalry has been competitive recently. Over the […]

Super Bowl LXI will be between…

The 2026 NFL season is finally here, and the race to Super Bowl LXI is wide open. While several teams have legitimate championship aspirations, 10 stand out as the strongest contenders in their respective conferences. Here are the top five teams in the AFC and NFC — and why each could make a run to […]

Rams defense gets chance to shine without Aaron Donald

Aaron Donald will not be suiting up in Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers and on one hand, that’s disappointing for fans of the Los Angeles Rams. On the other hand, if the Rams can excel or win without Donald, then that bodes even better for his eventual return to the lineup. It’s only […]

Rams vs 49ers: How to watch on TV, stream or listen on radio

Continuing a long and heated rivalry, the Los Angeles Rams host the San Francisco 49ers on a special edition of Thursday Night Football. While the emotional investment between the two fan bases always makes the matchup a “must watch”, this year’s opener adds to the revelry by where it’s taking place, in Melbourne, Australia. It […]

49ers lose promising defensive lineman for the year

San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Alfred Collins tore his patella tendon and will miss the entirety of the 2026 season. The injury occurred in Australia in the days leading up to Thursday night’s NFC West clash between the 49ers and Los Angeles Rams. Collins is a promising second-year defensive lineman. San Francisco embraced a defensive […]

Will Sam Darnold turn back into a pumpkin?

The NFL season kicks off on Wednesday evening when the Seattle Seahawks host the New England Patriots in a Super Bowl rematch. It’s unlikely to expect both teams to reach the pinnacle of professional football again in 2026. The NFL stands for “not for long”. It’s a league of parity. Bottom feeders climb to the […]

Surprising name added to Rams injury report

The Rams have not expressed any concerns about Myles Garrett’s knee injury keeping him out of Week 1, despite the reigning Defensive Player of the Year missing so many practices already, but suddenly Jaylen Watson’s name is on the injury report just two days before L.A.‘s opening game against the San Francisco 49ers. Watson and […]

Aaron Donald ruled out for Week 1

Aaron Donald is not traveling with the Los Angeles Rams to Australia and will be inactive for the team’s Week 1 game against the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday. The biggest story of the Rams offseason, which is saying a lot, Donald will not return to the field until Week 2 against the Giants, at […]

The Rams’ new long snapper is special

Joe Cardone is the Rams’ long snapper for the next two years after being signed by LA this past offseason, and he’s good, very good. So good, in fact, that he’s now the third-highest-paid long snapper in the league. While a salary of $1.725 million doesn’t seem like a whole lot in a sport where […]

Rams’ fans want to see Ty Simpson as QB2 over Stetson Bennett

We asked fans to share whether they wanted to see Ty Simpson or Stetson Bennett as the official backup quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams going into Week 1, and perhaps to no one’s surprise, the majority of fans wish to see the first-round pick Simpson over Bennett as the gameday backup. At the time […]

Myles Garrett expected to go for Rams on Thursday

Myles Garrett has been reportedly nursing a bit of an injury over part of this past offseason, but as far as the Los Angeles Rams are concerned, Garrett should be good to go against the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday. L.A. is expected to have it’s key players ready to roll come Game 1. How […]

What will the NFL standings look like in 2026?

The Los Angeles Rams are heavily favored to win the Super Bowl in February and came out nicely in these NFL standings predictions for the 2026 season. However, that’s not all when looking ahead to the season, which starts with a Seahawks-Patriots title rematch on Wednesday. Plenty of other surprises are in store in these […]

Why Brock Purdy is a unique challenge to Rams’ new defense

The Los Angeles Rams hope that Week 1 brings a coming out party for Myles Garrett, Aaron Donald, and their new-look defense. One man stands in the way. Brock Purdy is the last quarterback you want to face if planning to fill up the box score with sacks. Purdy—while still trying to prove he belongs […]

Puka Nacua, A.J. Jackson expected to play against 49ers

A suspension could come later but as it stands, the Los Angeles Rams are expected to have both Puka Nacua and Alaric Jackon for Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers, despite any off-field issues the two players have had this past offseason. Adam Schefter believes Nacua could avoid a suspension entirely. It’s big news […]

The Rams can help close Kyle Shanahan’s window

Sean McVay and Kyle Shanahan were hired as head coaches in the same year for the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers, respectively. McVay boasts a Super Bowl win while Shanahan has finished on the cusp twice. Shanahan is not running out of time with the 49ers. He’d be one of the most sought […]

Shanahan throws shade at Rams: NFL ‘let them off the hook’

Kyle Shanahan believes that the Los Angeles Rams are so pressed about playing the 49ers at SoFi Stadium that they convinced the NFL to move the game to Australia this season, and San Francisco’s coach said on Sunday that it still won’t matter. In a press conference just days ahead of their Week 1 matchup, […]

Week 1 is an important test for Rams CB Jaylen Watson

The Los Angeles Rams have historically been OK with a lack of size at the cornerback position. Their last few draft picks—although rare—have demonstrated this from Cobie Durant and Derion Kendrick to the likes of Tre Tomlinson. But the Rams did something very out of character this offseason: they made a major free agent signing […]

Matthew Stafford has been fantastic in international games

When the Los Angeles Rams take the field in Melbourne this week against the San Francisco 49ers, it will feel somewhat like home for quarterback Matthew Stafford, even though they’ll be playing several thousand miles from L.A. Stafford has played in a pair of international games during his long career, and both times he’s put […]

A positive historical trend for Aaron Donald

One of the biggest questions around the NFL pertaining to Aaron Donald’s return to the Los Angeles Rams is about whether or not he can still be the same Aaron Donald he was during his original run, when he was the best defensive player in football. It’s still entirely possible that he’s a massively impactful […]

Rams release player who was on injured reserve

The L.A. Rams signed Zech McPhearson during training camp, mostly to add competition on special teams, but the cornerback failed to make the roster and was placed on injured reserve. That place on the team came to an end on Saturday, as the Rams released McPhearson days before their first game of the season. McPhearson, […]

Rams Reacts: Aaron Donald’s return benefits young defensive line most

We asked and you answered! Los Angeles Rams fans expect Aaron Donald’s return to benefit young defensive lineman like Kobie Turner and Braden Fiske more than any other aspect of the team. Despite everything being to be determined, the expectation going into 2026 is regardless of however many snaps Donald gives, he’ll excel as he […]

Rams can remain buyers into the season

At best, the Los Angeles Rams have a 15% chance to win the Super Bowl. That percentage is higher than any of the other 31 teams. Still, I wouldn’t exactly bet my house on a probability that usually feels remote. The problem is that the Rams have set themselves up for a championship or failure […]
