It’s been well-documented at this point that the Los Angeles Rams were probably the most underrated team heading into 2023. Coming off of a 5-12 season in which Matthew Stafford, Cooper Kupp, Aaron Donald, and the entire offensive line dealt with historic injuries, many saw the Rams as being in a position of “tanking”.
Those in the know and close to the team understood what the Rams went through in 2022 following their Super Bowl season. Put any team in that situation with those circumstances and they likely wouldn’t have fared much better. With a young team, the Rams shocked the football world when they were one of the hottest teams down the stretch and made the postseason.
