The Los Angeles Rams, not the San Francisco 49ers, were supposed to be tops in NFL power rankings after six weeks of action around the league.
Following the Niners’ 20-7 road win over their NFC West division rivals, though, it’s the 5-0 49ers whose stock is on the rise.
Meanwhile, the 3-3 Rams are watching their grip on the division slip away.
Teams like the Rams and Cleveland Browns have been rather disappointing this season despite entering 2019 with a lot of hype and hope. Cleveland, too, lost a home bout against an NFC West squad, the Seattle Seahawks, which came from behind to ensure first-year head coach Freddie Kitchens’ seat won’t cool down after more than a few questionable decisions this season.
