"A crescendo is building, and the Rams might be best to ignore it. So much can happen from week to week in the NFL - check out Philadelphia's loss to Dallas - that the Rams can't get too comfortable, even with the way they're playing. In the last five games, culminating with their 27-point stomping of Tampa Bay on Sunday night, the Rams have outscored opponents in the opening quarter, 63-3."
"Matthew Stafford has thrown 27 touchdown passes without an interception. But it's uncomfortably early for anyone in the organization to be thinking about Santa Clara in February. The Rams need to play with blinders on. Yes, they've secured the NFC's No. 1 seed for the moment, but they have a one-game lead over the Eagles, who beat them earlier this season and therefore have the tie-breaker. There's no wiggle room."
The Rams have produced a dominant stretch, outscoring opponents 63-3 in opening quarters over five games and winning six straight, including a 27-point victory over Tampa Bay. Matthew Stafford has thrown 27 touchdown passes without an interception, and the defense has held opponents to 10 points or fewer in four of the recent wins. The team holds the NFC's top seed but maintains only a one-game lead over the Eagles, who hold the tiebreaker. The roster must avoid complacency, focus on each week, and sustain the current offensive efficiency to translate momentum into deep postseason success.
