The Los Angeles Rams dropped to 2-1 after the team’s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, but there were still positives.

For one, the team lost because of two blocked field goals and held a lead for the majority of the game. The running game looked solid and the defensive line continue to dominate.

However, this loss exposed the defensive issues that were a concern all offseason and the offense continued to stale in critical spots of the field.

Even in defeat, though, NFL experts still see the Rams as one of the top teams in the NFL. No one moved the Rams outside of the top-10 heading into Week 4, and some pundits even move the Rams up in their power rankings.

Here’s a roundup of the top power rankings for L.A. heading into their Week 4 game against the Indianapolis Colts.

They’ve lost four of their past 12 games − a Week 18 contest they didn’t need in January … and three setbacks to Philly. Shoulda kept the gas pedal down Sunday. On the plus side, the injury bug has stayed away from QB Matthew Stafford and Co. so far in the regular season while biting down hard on the Rams’ NFC West rivals.

As long as Matthew Stafford stays healthy, Los Angeles will be in the playoff picture and push the top contenders to their limits. However, the Rams’ loss to the Eagles exposed a weakness in their secondary. They need cover men to match up with big-time receivers like A.J. Brown and force turnovers when their front seven doesn’t get to the quarterback.

For two and a half quarters Sunday, the Rams looked like one of the best teams in football. They dominated the Eagles. Losing that 26-7 lead stings. The positive side: the Rams showed how high their ceiling is. They’re good. They just need to learn from blowing it against the Eagles.

After Matthew Stafford missed some of training camp with an aggravated disc in his back, the quarterback hasn’t appeared on the injury report through three weeks and is playing well. If the 37-year-old stays healthy, the Rams will be a tough out in the NFC.

While the Rams discussed the possibility of trading for cornerback Jalen Ramsey during the offseason, they decided adding his contract didn’t make sense and that they liked the players they had at the position. The Rams gave up just one passing touchdown in their first two games, but they lost cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon to a broken clavicle in Week 2. Veteran cornerback Darious Williams, who was a healthy scratch in Week 1, played 39.7% of defensive snaps in Week 3 alongside Cobie Durant (77.8%) and Emmanuel Forbes Jr. (82.5%). The Rams held the Eagles to negative passing yards (minus-1) in the first half, but quarterback Jalen Hurts threw three second-half touchdown passes.

I think that the Rams and Eagles are destined to do this again and I really hope that’s the case. Both of these teams have such a depth to their Swiss army knife, meaning that there’s always another gear. These are not showy offenses, just coldly effective ones. If the Rams can somehow solve their depth issue on the offensive line over the coming weeks, they’ll solidify legitimate Super Bowl aspirations.

The Rams were game to challenge the Eagles as their dynamic receiving duo of Davante Adams and Puka Nacua were up to the task for a worthy Matthew Stafford duel. But they also lived and died too much on field goals vs. TDs.
