The LA Rams have played the best football in the NFC West, by far, and they’ve also got the NFL’s best point differential through three weeks by a wide margin. They looked like the league’s best team on paper headed into the season and they’ve played like it; but in this sport, the paper can change quickly.
In the Rams’ win over the LA Chargers on Sunday, they took two major blows to the secondary: CB Aqib Talib has a high ankle sprain that could require surgery, while CB Marcus Peters has a calf strain that is expected to cause him to miss 2-4 weeks.
