Coming into the 2017 NFL season, very few would have believed that the Los Angeles Rams would be a contender in the NFC. Sean McVay has completely changed the culture is L.A. and has the Rams at 3-1 after their huge Week 4 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Now, there is no way to dismiss the Rams as a team to watch.
Jared Goff and Todd Gurley have come out strong to start the season and the Rams’ defense has been impressive as well. As long as the Rams continue playing the consistent brand of football they have been playing so far, they are a serious contender to make a run into the playoffs.
Gurley, in particular, has been a superstar for the Rams this season. After a disappointing second season last year, he has come out of the gates looking to prove a point. Through the first four games of the season, Gurley has racked up 362 yards and four touchdowns on the ground.
