EARTH CITY, Mo. -- The St. Louis Rams are starting to make believers out of the ESPN NFL Power Rankings panel.
After a 27-6 win against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, the Rams jumped up to No. 10 in this week's edition of the rankings. That's a two-spot climb from last week when they leaped to No. 12 after beating the Cleveland Browns 24-6.
The top 10 is rarefied air for a Rams team that hasn't often found itself anywhere but the teens or early to mid 20s under coach Jeff Fisher.
