The Rams were the best team in the NFL last season, and I believe that is a fair statement whether we are talking about the Super Bowl or the entirety of the league year. From the moment that Les Snead acquired Matthew Stafford in late January to defeating the Bengals in the Super Bowl a little more than 12 months later, the LA Rams consistently edged out the other 31 teams and collectively had the most number of correct moves in 2021 and the playoffs.
This honor of being “the best” is further solidified by the fact that the Rams have consistently been among the league’s top tier teams since Sean McVay arrived in 2017, plus the prior reputations of individual players like Aaron Donald, Cooper Kupp, Matthew Stafford, Jalen Ramsey, Andrew Whitworth, and Von Miller.
