Some have already started to say that the 2017 Los Angeles Rams are like the 1999 St. Louis Rams—even going so far as to suggest they are the “Greatest Show on “Surf” (which doesn’t really work, does it?). Only eight games in, having played a lot of teams with losing records, it is much too early to suggest they will even make the playoffs. In fact, coach Sean McVay has said that, at this point, the records mean nothing—no one remembers mid-season records when the Super Bowl rolls around.
Still, anyone can be forgiven for wondering.
