Los Angeles Rams-A

The Rams will be lamenting their Super Bowl loss to the Patriots for the entire offseason. That shouldn’t distract anyone from their brilliant season. The future remains very bright for Sean McVay’s squad.

After all, making it to the Super Bowl is an accomplishment in and of itself. At times, the Rams offense looked completely dominant during the 2018 campaign. The group kept right on ticking even after Cooper Kupp went down to injury. Todd Gurley wasn’t right during the playoffs, but he was stellar during the regular season.

The Rams defense also enjoyed plenty of star power. The combination of Aaron Donald and Ndamukong Suh wreaked havoc on opposing offensive linemen. Suh might not be back next year, but the duo worked really well while it lasted.

Some might call the Rams season a failure because they didn’t finish things off by hoisting the Lombardi Trophy, but this team’s window to contend didn’t end with Super Bowl 53. This team still has a ton of talent coming back next year. There’s no guarantee the Rams will make it back to the big game next year, but no one should bet against McVay’s coaching genius either.
