LA as high as 12th following Week 12 win

LA as high as 12th following Week 12 win

The Ringer questions the legitimacy of the Rams after crushing the Cardinals for two of their last three wins, only moving them up one spot from No. 18 to 17. They bottomed out at No. 23 in Week 10 but they’ve been on a steady rise since then.

The Rams embarrassed the Cardinals 37-14, finally putting together a complete performance across a full game. The Rams have a point differential this year of minus-2, but that belies their real story: the Rams have outscored the Cardinals in two games by 40 points, and they’ve been outscored by all other opponents by 42 combined. Bizarrely, the five-win Rams have only beaten three teams: the Cardinals twice, the Seahawks twice, and the Colts in a game where rookie QB Anthony Richardson overcame a 23-0 deficit to send it to overtime. Matthew Stafford may be back from his thumb injury, but the Rams face the toughest stretch of their season with the Browns and Ravens defenses in back-to-back weeks. —Danny Heifetz
