When the Los Angeles Rams finally arrived at their bye week following a dramatic 54-51 win against the Kansas City Chiefs, it looked to be relatively clear sailing to an NFC West title, a really good shot at the top seed in the NFC, and a possible MVP.
Then they took some time off, and ever since, they haven’t looked the same. Not remotely the same as the team who’d run up an 11-1 record, was scoring points by the bunches, and seemed the toast of the league with the brilliant Sean McVay.
