Rams Winners & Losers: Is Matthew Stafford done for?

It was clear the Los Angeles Rams and Matthew Stafford were out of sync from the game’s opening moments. They fell to the San Francisco 49ers 27-7 in an embarrassing opening week stunner.

NFC West should remain the NFL’s best division in 2026

The Seattle Seahawks proved Wednesday night that they remain the class of the NFC West, with the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers not far behind.

Why the Rams should beat the Niners handily

The L.A. Rams should have no trouble beating their division rival San Francisco 49ers in their Week 1 game in Melbourne on Thursday night and the reason is simple: The Rams were the better team last season and they’re even better this season.

Seahawks just put Rams, NFL on notice

The Seattle Seahawks may not have dominated the New England Patriots solely based on their winning score of 13-10, but if you watched the game, then you saw the Seahawks overcome an injury to their starting quarterback, you saw them overcome a 10-0 deficit, you saw their defense fight the entire game, you saw their […]

Rams save $3.4 million with Quentin Lake restructure

The Los Angeles Rams have created some much-needed salary-cap flexibility by restructuring the contract of defensive back Quentin Lake, freeing approximately $3.4 million in 2026 cap space. According to the terms of the restructure, the Rams converted $4.285 million of Lake’s salary into a signing bonus. The team then added two void years to the […]

Drake Maye’s debut reinforces why Matthew Stafford won MVP

Editor’s note: A previous version of this article contained a joke Twitter post that was presented as fact. We regret the error. Drake Maye could have won last season’s MVP trophy if he had received just one more first place vote, but the Patriots quarterback’s poor play on Wednesday night against the Seahawks only reinforced […]

Rams were lucky to miss out on Maxx Crosby, A.J. Brown trades

The Los Angeles Rams explored trades for both Maxx Crosby and A.J. Brown in the spring, according to Tom Pelissero.

Rams defense gets chance to shine without Aaron Donald

Aaron Donald will not be suiting up in Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers and on one hand, that’s disappointing for fans of the Los Angeles Rams. On the other hand, if the Rams can excel or win without Donald, then that bodes even better for his eventual return to the lineup. It’s only […]

Continuing a long and heated rivalry, the Los Angeles Rams host the San Francisco 49ers on a special edition of Thursday Night Football.

San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Alfred Collins tore his patella tendon and will miss the entirety of the 2026 season.

San Francisco embraced a defensive […]

Will Sam Darnold turn back into a pumpkin?

The NFL season kicks off on Wednesday evening when the Seattle Seahawks host the New England Patriots in a Super Bowl rematch.

Surprising name added to Rams injury report

The Rams have not expressed any concerns about Myles Garrett’s knee injury keeping him out of Week 1, despite the reigning Defensive Player of the Year missing so many practices already, but suddenly Jaylen Watson’s name is on the injury report just two days before L.A.‘s opening game against the San Francisco 49ers. Watson and […]

Aaron Donald ruled out for Week 1

Aaron Donald is not traveling with the Los Angeles Rams to Australia and will be inactive for the team’s Week 1 game against the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday.

The Rams’ new long snapper is special

Joe Cardone is the Rams’ long snapper for the next two years after being signed by LA this past offseason, and he’s good, very good. So good, in fact, that he’s now the third-highest-paid long snapper in the league. While a salary of $1.725 million doesn’t seem like a whole lot in a sport where […]

Rams’ fans want to see Ty Simpson as QB2 over Stetson Bennett

We asked fans to share whether they wanted to see Ty Simpson or Stetson Bennett as the official backup quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams going into Week 1, and perhaps to no one’s surprise, the majority of fans wish to see the first-round pick Simpson over Bennett as the gameday backup. At the time […]

Why Brock Purdy is a unique challenge to Rams’ new defense

The Los Angeles Rams hope that Week 1 brings a coming out party for Myles Garrett, Aaron Donald, and their new-look defense. One man stands in the way. Brock Purdy is the last quarterback you want to face if planning to fill up the box score with sacks. Purdy—while still trying to prove he belongs […]
