Rams are the team to beat in the NFC
The Los Angeles Rams grabbed their sixth straight win after toppling the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 34-7 on Sunday night.
Los Angeles controlled the game from wire to wire, dominating on both sides of the ball. It marks the first time that the Rams have held the top overall spot in the NFC standings since the 2018 season.
After the game, head coach Sean McVay highlighted his team’s resilience, which has put them in a promising position with six games left in the regular season.
“I love the way we’ve responded from some setbacks,” McVay said via ESPN. “I love the way that we’ve handled a little bit of success. And through 11 weeks, I’m proud of them. Now, let’s see what we can do through 12.
“And I’m very confident that we’re going to give ourselves the best chance to do that because I’m betting on the people in that locker room.”
The Rams looked every bit the part of a potential championship-contending team. Quarterback Matthew Stafford added to his standout campaign with three touchdown passes that stretched his streak to 27 straight touchdown passes without an interception, setting an NFL record since play-by-play was first tracked in 1978.

Davante Adams also added a pair of touchdown receptions, keeping him atop of the league with 12 receiving touchdowns.
“He’s playing like the most valuable player in the league,” Rams wide receiver Davante Adams said. “You can see it in the numbers, the way he’s taking command of the huddle and the offense, the way him and Sean [McVay] put things together and work throughout the week together to put together a good product for us.
“Just all around. I mean, he’s a great leader and obviously knows how to put points on the board and keep this offense moving.”
The Rams will look to stay on the upward path in Week 13 on the road against the Carolina Panthers.
