Flat out: The Los Angeles Rams were not overall talented enough in certain spots to hang with a true contender in the NFC conference. The Philadelphia Eagles put together a resounding road win at SoFi Stadium. Philly led 37-14 before LA scored a garbage time touchdown.
This was a failed litmus test for the Rams. While they are still alive in the NFC West divisional race, they are falling behind in the wildcard projections and overall NFC playoff picture. Los Angeles is closer to mediocre than they are to contention—and this is especially clear after their performance on Sunday Night Football.
