Giants’ run game will be a major test for the Rams
The Los Angeles Rams were poor across the board in Week 1, but especially against the run, nearly giving up 200 yards to the 49ers. With New York coming to town, the Giants’ running game will pose one of the tougher challenges to the Rams’ iffy run defense this season. In the 20-point season-opening loss, […]
Bills, Bears, and Jags beat Rams at their own game
The Los Angeles Rams became so synonymous with 13 personnel in 2025 that using three tight ends practically became called “the Sean McVay style”, but in Week 1 the copycat league beat the Rams at their own game. The Rams ran 13 personnel on 36.8% of their plays against the 49ers last week, which is […]
Rams-Giants keys to victory: 3rd down success
The Los Angeles Rams will look to bounce back in Week 2 when they face the New York Giants on Monday Night Football. For keys to victory in Week 1, I mentioned how the Rams needed to run, run, and run some more on offense. They ran the ball in the first half, but they […]
Who faces more pressure in Week 2, Sean McVay or Chris Shula?
I’d argue that the headline is a bit of a trick question, as both Sean McVay and Chris Shula need to get the Los Angeles Rams, and their respective units back on track after a disappointing showing against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 1. Both are under tremendous pressure. Where was the complimentary football? […]
5Qs, 5As with Big Blue View: Will Jaxson Dart continue playing ‘unafraid’?
The Los Angeles Rams look to rebound in Week 2 with a home date against the upstart New York Giants. New York is 1-0 under new head coach John Harbaugh, whose team appears to be a much tougher opponent than previously thought. Much of the Giants’ success in the season opener is due to second-year […]
The personnel grouping that makes Rams dangerous can’t save a deficit
The rest of the NFL was quick to emulate the Los Angeles Rams’ frequent deployment of 13 personnel (one RB, three TE’s) over the offseason. But LA was forced off their spot as soon as Week 1. The San Francisco 49ers took away the Rams’ most effective personnel grouping and cornered them into running 11 […]
Not all 0-1 NFC teams should be hitting the panic button
The Los Angeles Rams got off to the worst start imaginable in Week 1, but several other playoff-hopeful NFC teams did too. Playoff teams from last season, including the Rams, Packers and Panthers, lost their season openers, each in a spectacularly depressing fashion. In fact, Los Angeles and Green Bay are the only winless teams […]
Rams’ decision not to draft a linebacker could cost them
When the Los Angeles Rams opted to trade their first-round pick to the Atlanta Falcons in 2025, they also bypassed the opportunity to draft back-to-back Defensive Rookie of the Year players. The Rams traded pick 26 to the Falcons and shortly thereafter the Cleveland Browns drafted linebacker Carson Schwesinger at 33, a rookie who ended […]
Aaron Donald has ‘realistic’ chance to play vs. Giants
There is a “very, very realistic chance” that Aaron Donald could play for the Los Angeles Rams against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football, according to the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Given the injury to Myles Garrett that will keep the Rams’ star pass rusher out for at least a month, Donald’s return […]
Rams vs. Giants: Sean McVay still gives L.A. an advantage
The Los Angeles Rams return home for a Monday Night Football showdown against the New York Giants after disappointing in their season opener. The Rams were defeated 27-7 by the San Francisco 49ers in Melbourne, Australia; struggling offensively while allowing Brock Purdy and the 49ers to control the game. Matthew Stafford finished with 155 passing […]
The Giants showed they can be ‘dangerous’, will the Rams?
Matthew Stafford referred to the New York Giants as a “dangerous” football team, and he further explained that every team in the NFL has a chance to be dangerous. The logic that any team can be dangerous makes sense as every team is made up of the best talent in the world. So, by extension, […]
Are Rams putting their new corners in the best position to succeed?
The Los Angeles Rams made two of the biggest offseason acquisitions in Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson. McDuffie was brought in via a blockbuster trade. Watson was an out of character free agent investment by LA. But why would the Rams acquire two premium corners if they were going to run a defense designed for […]
Sean McVay & Rams W-L record following a 49ers loss
The Los Angeles Rams opened the 2026 season with a disappointing loss to the San Francisco 49ers, leaving Sean McVay and his team with plenty to evaluate heading into Week 2. While the result was not what the Rams wanted, McVay frequently emphasizes one important message following adversity: “controlling their response”. That response will be […]
Rams Super Bowl chances hinge on 3rd down success
The Los Angeles Rams have played 86 regular-season games from Week 1 of 2021 through Week 1 of 2026. A lot of their success as a offense has been their ability to keep pressure on opposing defenses by moving the chains. Eventually, defenses bust their coverage and the Rams find their way in the end […]
Rams Week 2 power rankings round-up: LA drops from top spot
After a very surprising showing in a Week 1 loss to the 49ers, it’s no surprise the Rams have slipped in almost every power ranking. The lone exception was Complex.com’s Matt Burke, who kept at L.A. at the top spot despite the loss and injury to Myles Garrett. Most writers seem to have adopted a […]
Will Aaron Donald suit up for Rams on Monday?
Will Aaron Donald make his 2026 debut on Monday Night Football against the New York Giants? The Rams may need him. With Myles Garrett out, and the entire team looking middle of the pack (at best) against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 1, the Rams may need Donald to help them get back in […]
Rams believe Myles Garrett will only miss the minimum 4 games, per report
The Los Angeles Rams and Myles Garrett decided together that it was best for him to get surgery now to address his knee injury with the hope that he will be 100-percent when he returns from injury reserve in a month, according to a report by Ian Rapoport on Monday. Rapoport detailed the thought process […]
Giants aren’t the pushovers they were expected to be
The Los Angeles Rams were supposed to get a soft landing when they returned from Australia with a Week 2 home game against the New York Giants, but if Week 1 is any indication then John Harbaugh’s new look G-Men are anything but an “easy win”. The Giants beat the Dallas Cowboys 28-20 on Sunday […]
The Giants stole 49ers’ playbook and that is bad news for Rams
The San Francisco 49ers know the recipe for a win over the Los Angeles Rams—and that was on full display again in a stunning Week 1 upset in Australia. The bad news for the Rams is that their next opponent, the New York Giants, seem to have found San Francisco’s cookbook in the back of […]
Sean McVay Meter: Fans’ confidence in coach after Week 1
One game does not define a season, but Rams fans have every right to feel frustrated after what unfolded in Melbourne. The Los Angeles Rams entered Week 1 with high expectations, only to deliver a disappointing performance against the San Francisco 49ers. When a team struggles in multiple areas, the head coach is naturally going […]
Rams had amazing offseason, dud Week 1
The Los Angeles Rams had one of the best on paper off-season’s in modern sports, then followed that up with a horrible Week 1. Things can always be worse, but the Week 1 that L.A. just has proven again why picking a Super Bowl winner in August is nearly an impossible task. Starting with the […]
Rams have mixed results rebounding from Week 1 losses
The Los Angeles Rams lost their season opener for the third time under Sean McVay on Thursday against the 49ers. Los Angeles has a mixed track record in the McVay era when rebounding from a Week 1 loss. Under McVay, the Rams are 7-3 in season openers since the start of the 2017 campaign. The […]
Myles Garrett’s injury is a big opportunity for Josaiah Stewart
The Los Angeles Rams placed star pass rusher Myles Garrett on injured reserve Sunday, ruling him out for at least the next four games. While, of course, this is mostly unfortunate news for the team, if we apply the “never waste a good crisis” logic we can find some silver linings. One of the developments […]
Giants get back Malik Nabers, 1 week before Rams game
The New York Giants are set to have number one receiver Malik Nabers when they face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 2. Nabers, who was a Pro Bowl player in 2024 as a rookie, is active for the Giants on Sunday night, less than a year after a devastating knee injury. If Nabers makes […]
Aaron Donald is no longer just a luxury for the Rams’ defense
The Los Angeles Rams suddenly need Aaron Donald more than they could have imagined this offseason. It’s been a common refrain for fans around the league, pundits, analysts, that the Rams don’t even need Donald, one of the greatest defensive players in NFL history, because of how good the rest of the defensive line and […]
