There’s no beating around the bush: the Los Angeles Rams are 1-4 and their hopes for the postseason are on life support.
The Rams are mostly in their hole because of a rash of early season injuries, so as Puka Nacua, Cooper Kupp, and others return to health there is at least some level of possibility that LA can turn things around and improve their standing quickly. Sean McVay’s squad did start 3-6 last year before making an improbable run to the playoffs—so such a turnaround is not unprecedented.
If the Rams are going to make things interesting this year, they’ll need to fare much better over the next month than they did in their first five weeks.
