2. Los Angeles Rams

While the Rams are not a fringe contender, rather a Super Bowl contender, they do have an interesting game ahead of them. On the heels of their first loss of the season, it will be interesting to see how the Rams respond. Last week the Saints out-dueled the Rams, who coming in, were the only undefeated team left in the league. How does this group of players handle a loss? This week will show a lot.

Will Jared Goff and company be able to bounce back against a surprisingly good Seattle Seahawks team? Divisional games are always dicey, and the Seahawks gave the Rams a run for their money a few weeks ago. Will they be able to do it again?

If the Seahawks are able to catch the Rams not playing at their best because of the loss, it could easily become two consecutive losses for Los Angeles. However, all signs point to the Rams being able to quickly forget the loss and take care of business this week. Especially because of the numerous veteran players on the Rams roster.

A must win? Perhaps not, but it would be a quality win for the Rams and would help them truly put last week behind them, and would be another big step towards clinching the NFC West title.
