The Los Angeles Rams will play at least one postseason game this year, but they just don’t know if it’ll be in the Wild Card or the Divisional round.
Right now, L.A. is the No. 6 seed sitting at 11-4. Things could change quickly, though, and the Rams could finish Week 18 with the No. 1 seed in the NFC.
Former Indianapolis Colts head coach Tony Dungy says the Rams are the team to “look out for” in the playoffs regardless of which seed they get in the postseason.
“[Puka] Nacua is playing great, they’ve got pass rushers on the defensive side and they’ve got that veteran quarterback [Matthew Stafford],” Dungy said. “I would look out for the Rams in this playoff season.”
While the records and tiebreakers aren’t in the Rams’ favor right now, the team’s on-field production looks good. They’re No. 1 in points scored, No. 6 in points allowed and have an MVP-caliber quarterback in Stafford under center.
Head coach Sean McVay continues to run a tight ship and the Rams’ four losses have been by a combined 14 points — including two in overtime.
No matter who or where the Rams play, they’ll be formidable. Obviously, though, they’d prefer an extra week off and home-field advantage throughout the postseason.
