Getty Images There’s a new team atop the NFC West and a new team holding down the No. 1 seed in the conference as we head into the final four weeks of the regular season. Wins by the Saints last Thursday night and the Seahawks on Monday night coupled with the 49ers’ loss in Baltimore means...

Getty Images Rams wide receiver Robert Woods had 13 catches for 172 yards on Sunday, and coach Sean McVay said he loved what quarterback Jared Goff did to set Woods up — and not just by throwing to him. McVay singled out a screen pass on which Woods was surrounded by Cardinals, ran across the...

Getty Images David Johnson‘s $9.75 million cap number this season is the highest at his position in the entire league. Yet, he no longer even is a starter on his own team. In fact, he hardly has played since the Cardinals acquired Kenyan Drake. Now, with Chase Edmonds returning from an...

Getty Images With defensive tackle Aaron Donald‘s second contract, the Rams dragged their feet through a pair of offseason and preseason holdouts, eventually (and begrudgingly) paying Donald on the brink of the fifth and final year of his rookie deal. With running back Todd Gurley and...

Getty Images Sean McVay said he had not talked to Jalen Ramsey and didn’t know much about the Rams cornerback’s run-in with former Rams cornerback Marcus Peters after Monday night’s game. “I haven’t spoken to him,” McVay said Tuesday. “I addressed the team. We talked about a couple of things...

Getty Images While a 45-6 blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night may have taken a big mental toll on the Los Angeles Rams, it doesn’t appear to have been too big a blow physically. Head coach Sean McVay said on Tuesday that tight end Gerald Everett was the only injury of concern...

Getty Images The worst thing about the never-ending grind of an NFL season is that there’s no time to enjoy a big win. The best thing about it is that there’s no time to wallow in an ugly loss. For the Rams, who suffered their worst loss ever at L.A. Coliseum on Monday night, the next train...

Getty Images The Rams are paying Jared Goff and Todd Gurley a lot of money, to keep putting up the kind of flashy offense they’re used to seeing. They are not getting their money’s worth. The Rams managed just a pair of field goals in last night’s loss to the Ravens, and their highest-profile...

Getty Images With five weeks left in the regular season, five NFC teams should be feeling pretty comfortable about their chances of making the playoffs. The 49ers, Saints, Packers, Seahawks and Vikings are all at least two games up on their closest competitors for playoff spots and, barring...

Getty Images Stopping Lamar Jackson is one thing. Preparing to stop him is another. Making it harder to solve the problem that is the Ravens offense is that fact that it’s difficult to get ready to face the Ravens, as the Rams learned both before and during Monday night’s 45-6 debacle. “You...

Getty Images Monday night’s thrashing of the Rams by the Ravens was, in isolation, very impressive. Coupled with Baltimore’s game immediately preceding Monday night, it was historic. Via ESPN Stats and Information, the Ravens’ 41-7 win over the Texans coupled with the 45-6 victory over the...

Getty Images Last month, the Rams traded cornerback Marcus Peters to the Ravens only an hour or two before trading for cornerback Jalen Ramsey. The Rams and Ravens met on Monday night, the game was ugly, and the ugliness continued after. ESPN cameras caught Peters and Ramsey exchanging verbal...

Getty Images Eric Weddle is a better position than most to understand what Lamar Jackson is capable of given his time as teammates with Jackson last year with the Baltimore Ravens. Even that fact didn’t keep Weddle from being gobsmacked by the complete and total destruction of the Los Angeles...

Getty Images The Rams aren’t the Rams of 2018. The Ravens on Monday night are the Ravens that have played like the best team in football most of the season. The rout is on. The Ravens lead the Rams 28-6 at halftime. Baltimore scored touchdowns on all four first-half possessions, gaining 251...

Getty Images Lamar Jackson threw six touchdown passes all of last season when he started seven games. He has thrown five Monday night. It tied his career high set in the season opener against the Dolphins. He had four last week against Houston and three against Cincinnati two weeks ago...

Getty Images The Rams will get a boost to their receiving corps tonight with Robert Woods and Brandin Cooks in the lineup. Cooks, out since his latest concussion on Oct. 27, exited the final injury report Saturday. Woods was more of a question mark for tonight despite not appearing on the...

The Ravens scored their seventh opening-drive touchdown of the season, the most in the NFL. The Rams provided little resistance. Baltimore forced a three-and-out on the Rams’ opening possession, and De'Anthony Thomas returned the punt 20 yards to set up the Ravens at their own 45. Nine plays...

Getty Images After abruptly missing last Sunday night’s game for personal reasons, Rams receiver Robert Woods rejoined the team on Thursday. Although he doesn’t appear on the injury report, it’s still not clear whether he’ll play on Monday night against the Ravens. “It’s looking good, but like...

Getty Images Four weeks after suffering his fourth concussion since Super Bowl LII, receiver Brandin Cooks will return to action. Cooks, who sustained his latest head injury on October 27 in London during a win over the Bengals, has exited the final injury report for the week. He’ll play on...
