When the Los Angeles Rams started their season with a 1-3 record, things appeared bleak for the organization.
After another slow start to the year, most fans and analysts projected the Rams to continue their downfall.
It seems like this team hasn’t listened to their doubters, as they have rallied in the back half of the season, now standing with an 8-7 record.
This resurgence has brought the Rams into the playoff conversation.
When discussing this team in a “First Things First segment,” Nick Wright and Chris Broussard indicated that this team should be taken seriously.
Wright said the Rams “can absolutely win one or two playoff games,” assuming they make it to the postseason.

Broussard added, “You wouldn’t want to play them.”
What magic has this team captured over the past several weeks to make Broussard and Wright have these strong opinions?
For one, the Rams’ offense has come alive.
While they looked lackluster and one-dimensional to start the year, the Rams are now a dynamic team.
Matthew Stafford has helped fully unlock rookie Puka Nacua, who has become the team’s top receiver.
This has taken significant pressure off Cooper Kupp, as both receivers threaten opposing defenses.
Kyren Williams has also been a vital cog in this team’s offense, rushing efficiently to help open up the passing game.
Their defense continues to be strong, a key attribute to their Super Bowl-winning team a few years ago.
While many analysts, including Broussard and Wright, are not ready to call the Rams contenders, they believe they could make some noise in the playoffs.
