The defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers are traveling cross-country to compete in a highly anticipated matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. This will be a clash of the current #1 and #2 teams in the NFL, according to recent power rankings.
The Rams did not necessarily exchange two first round draft selections and Jared Goff for Matthew Stafford in order to win in the regular season - the real measuring stick for the trade will come in the post season. With that said, Sunday afternoon will be the first major test for the Stafford-led Rams and should be a reasonable assessment of their ability to compete in a potential playoff matchup.
