As explosive as the Los Angeles Rams offense can be on any given Sunday, their defense is undoubtedly the most consistent unit on the team. Still, the Rams continue to be overlooked on the national level.

Sorting out the first- and second-team left tackles was a heartbreaking endeavor. Fuaga, JC Latham (Titans) and Olu Fashanu (Jets) all delivered on or exceeded their draft billing as blindside protectors. Having to rank them is impossible and unfair, and Jets and Titans fans can be justifiably upset with me.

Upsets this weekend by the Rams and Commanders could put the NFC title game in Los Angeles next weekend, after the NFL moved an opening-round playoff game to Arizona.

The Cowboys are set to interview a pair of former NFL head coaches next in Robert Saleh and Leslie Frazier. Saleh was fired by the New York Jets five games into his fourth season in 2024. Frazier, the assistant head coach in Seattle this season, spent three-plus years as coach of the Minnesota Vikings a decade ago.

The Rams said Monday's game will be used "to bring LA Together and uplift and represent their city in Arizona" after the deadly wildfires.

On Monday night, the Rams provided a welcomed, albeit temporary escape for their fans who are dealing with the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles. Led by a dominant defensive effort, the Rams took a 24-3 halftime lead en route to a 27-9 win over the Vikings in the NFC wild-card round.

The Rams pulled into Glendale, Arizona with heavy hearts. The NFC West champs end up tying NFL playoff history over the Vikings.

The Rams broke records and made history in a number of ways on Monday night, putting together a game to remember in Arizona

Houston's backups played a majority of the game, with running back Dameon Pierce netting 176 yards and a 92-yard touchdown on the ground. Texans quarterback Davis Mills had 128 passing yards, while Titans quarterback Will Levis had 175 passing yards and a score.

The Tennessee Titans' dreadfully disappointing 2024 season has come to an end, but there is at least some good news: Tennessee secured the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, which they can use to land their next quarterback.

The Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Rams will play their NFC wild card matchup in Glendale, Ariz., instead of Inglewood, Calif., due to the Los Angeles wildfires, the NFL announced.
