4. Los Angeles Rams (6)

The Los Angeles Rams faced the Saints this weekend and it was a chance for them to turn the page on the infamous no-call in the NFC Championship Game. Yes, New Orleans was the team on the short end of the stick in that game, but Los Angeles was somewhat disrespected as they were treated as though they didn’t earn the win.

While that one call surely helped them, they took advantage of the opportunity and made the plays in overtime. Now, they look to take the next step and win it all, and taking out the Saints in Week 2 was something that should have given them a ton of confidence.

However, they now have another asterisk after beating New Orleans 27-9 while Drew Brees was on the sideline for the majority of the game after hitting his hand on the helmet of Aaron Donald. The Rams won convincingly, but beating Teddy Bridgewater isn’t as impressive as beating Brees.

As for the Rams, they too had an injury scare as Aaron Donald headed to the locker room not long after the Brees injury, but he was able to get back on the field. Up next for L.A. is the Cleveland Browns, another team with a lot of talent who can pose a problem.
