[Rams fans: Sign up for our Rams survey, 3 questions each week]
The Los Angeles Rams are ready for the 2018 season.
No, the Arizona Cardinals clearly weren’t much of a test for this team given the level of performance we’re expecting them to provide this year. And no, that wasn’t ever really in doubt with a 19-point second quarter that set things up for the Rams to slowly develop a wider lead leaning on their offensive line, wide receivers and defense today.
But the Rams deserve credit for passing the early test of handling two lesser teams en route to a 2-0 record, the first time they’ve gotten out to such a start since 2001. And credit should go out to the players who have really stepped up.
WR Brandin Cooks looks every bit the part of a WR1 for this team. The offensive line was brilliant yet again. And QB Jared Goff played a better game today with plus decision making.
And now things get interesting.
The Los Angeles Chargers followed by the Minnesota Vikings in the following two weeks precede a challenging three-game road swing.
The Rams are ready. Today just reinforces that.
