A few hours before that news conference, the Rams traded pick No. 26 to the Atlanta Falcons, who used it on James Pearce Jr. The outside linebacker has 8.5 sacks this season, which leads all rookies. He has recorded at least a half-sack in seven straight games, which is the second-longest streak by any rookie since 1982 when sacks became official, according to ESPN Research.

[I learned to use] those reps to get better, not just feeling sorry or using them to get by [and] get through the day, but using them to actually get better,

Not the Rams. Not for now anyway. Before last Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers, the Rams held the No. 1 seed in the NFC. After their defeat, the Rams (9-3) are No. 2 heading into Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals (3-9) at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. The Chicago Bears (9-3) currently hold the top spot. How closely are Rams coach Sean McVay and his players tracking the race for the No. 1 seed - and home-field advantage for the playoffs?

With kicker Harrison Mevis solidifying their special teams, the Rams on Friday waived Joshua Karty. Karty, a 2024 sixth-round draft pick, had several kicks blocked early in the season, including one that led to a last-second touchdown by the Philadelphia Eagles. He made 10 of 15 field-goal attempts and 23 of 26 extra-point attempts "It was just exclusively a numbers thing," coach Sean McVay said. "It's just hard to keep two kickers."

It's always nice when the best team in the NFL shows itself early; it's even better when you can see the process go from good to great as a season progresses. The Rams have undeniably become the team to beat in the NFL with Matthew Stafford, Davonte Adams, and this incredible defensive front putting the hurt on anybody in their path.

Emmanuel Forbes Jr. was the apple of Rivera's eye during his final draft in 2023. He thought the undersized cornerback could become the lockdown force Washington desperately needed, taking him over Christian Gonzalez at No. 16 overall. What he failed to recognize was the significant development he needed to flourish. Emmanuel Forbes Jr. is silencing all doubters one year after Commanders cut ties. Forbes got thrown to the wolves. He was physically outmatched, technically deficient in tackling, and sapped of confidence right from the outset.

"it's a court case," so he "can't really say anything about it right now"
