The Rams are having a mixed season so far
2021-2022 Super Bowl champion, the Rams, didn’t start the current season on a great note. So far, they have won only 3 games out of 7. Certainly, losing a player like Odell Beckham Jr. cost them, as they are struggling offensively this season.
Currently, they are sitting in the third position in the NFC West division behind the Seahawks and the 49ers. Despite their 3-4 record, they can still qualify for the playoffs, if they figure out their offensive line. This Sunday. they will face the Bucs, who are also looking for a win.
