The Rams were squarely in the top-10 of most power rankings prior to their Sunday night tilt with the 49ers, and despite the 24-16 loss, they’ve managed to hold on to a top spot once again.
In ESPN’s latest edition of their weekly rankings, the Rams come in at #10, just one spot above the 5-1 Bears — their next opponent — and one spot behind the 3-2 Saints.
Rams beat reporter Lindsey Thiry believes that the team’s the lack of significant injuries has played a huge role in this team exceeding early expectations through the first six weeks of the season.
