1. Los Angeles Rams

While the Los Angeles Rams have plenty of reasons to feel excited at the moment after acquiring Jalen Ramsey from the Jacksonville Jaguars, the main focus for this team needs to be on Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons.

Following an impressive 3-0 start, the Rams appeared to be on their way to earning a third NFC West title in a row before things started to fall apart after their Week 4 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Losing three games in a row for the first time during the Sean McVay era has been a tough pill to swallow, and one can only imagine the high level of pressure if this unfortunate streak increases to four games with a loss to the Falcons.

To put even more pressure on the Rams, Atlanta is facing a ton of pressure themselves with only one win to their name, which came all the way back in Week 2 during a thrilling win over the Philadelphia Eagles.

If Matt Ryan finds a way to come out firing to help the Falcons jump out to an early lead to put extra pressure on Los Angeles, that fourth loss in a row seems more likely to happen for McVay and the Rams.
