Each NFL team’s record prediction for the 2019 season
By Dan Parzych
Los Angeles Rams: 13-3
Whether Todd Gurley was injured or not, there was no excuse for the Los Angeles Rams to fail to record a single touchdown in Super Bowl LIII, even if the New England Patriots deserve all the credit in the world for their performance on defense.
Over the last two years, Sean McVay has done an unbelievable job at helping the Rams become one of the top contenders in the NFL. Knowing his mindset, the head coach has probably been going nuts these last few months wondering what could have been.
Back in 2017 when Los Angeles decided to make McVay the youngest head coach in NFL history, the original plan seemed to be that he would need at least a year or two before the Rams could even become part of the playoff conversation.
Now, the Rams hope to finish on top of the NFC West for a third year in a row to put them in the best position possible to earn another trip to the Super Bowl, with hopefully better results.
Like most teams, Los Angeles has experienced a few adjustments this offseason, but also McVay always seems to be one-step ahead. He knows the team will be just fine with other players ready to step up.
Now that the Rams got a taste of what it feels like to play in the Super Bowl, it wouldn’t be a surprised if they used this to their advantage to make another run, while taking some other strong contenders along the way, whether it’s the New Orleans Saints or the Dallas Cowboys.
