If the Los Angeles Rams miss the playoffs or end up getting a quick boot, the next big talking point for Sean McVay will be: “Why do the Rams keep starting so slow?”
Basically, the NFC’s version of the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Rams started 1-4 this season. They endured injuries to key players, they narrowly lost to the Lions. However, they also lose to the Cardinals by 31 points, they lost to the Bears and they lost at home to the Packers.
They needed that win over the Cardinals for their division record.
