6. Los Angeles Rams, 5-4
The Los Angeles Rams have won three games in a row and are right back in the mix, coming in at No. 6 in our power rankings. With both Puka Nacua and Davante Adams out, though, it's going to be tough-sledding for this offense.
The Rams may have to continue leaning into the duo of Kyren Williams and Blake Corum, perhaps the best running back duo in the sport. Myles Garrett is back in action on defense as well, which is huge, but this season was honestly derailed from the start. The injuries have been overwhelming, and while this team is among the most talented in the sport and well coached, injuries can derail even the best teams.
Los Angeles might be able to squeak out 10 wins this year, but that very likely won't be enough to win the NFC West. The one thing that could be going for them, though, is if some of these key players return in time for the final stretch of the regular season and then into the playoffs.
If that happens, the Rams could be quite dangerous.
5. Green Bay Packers, 6-3
The Green Bay Packers are a team to take seriously. Despite not being able to run the ball and having a good bit of injuries on both sides of the ball, the Packers are right in the thick of it all in the NFC. Quarterback Jordan Love has been playing MVP-caliber football this year, as we have also seen the wide receiver duo of Christian Watson and Matthew Golden absolutely explode.
The Packers, though, might not have quite enough to win it all this year - while we're a ways away from that, the injuries are rather significant, and the offensive line has been pretty shaky this year. However, this team is 6-3 and should be taken seriously until (or if) they show signs of faltering.
