Win-win-loss. Win-win-loss. What am I doing? Well, practicing the pattern that the LA Rams followed through 2020 and into the NFL Playoffs, of course. If you recall, whatever else the LA Rams were able to do in the 2020 NFL season, breaking out of that damnable one win, two win, one loss patter was not one of them.
It was a trap, a perpetual cycle of a little hope, followed by hopes dashed. It was an emotional roller coaster that lasted 19 weeks. From the first week victory of the season against the overhyped Dallas Cowboys, through the 17th-week miraculous win authored by backup quarterback John Wolford and sealed with what may have been the best defensive performance of the LA Rams in a very long time.
