The Los Angeles Rams have turned their season around in the blink of an eye, going from 1-4 to 4-4 in a matter of a month. They’re currently riding a three-game winning streak into Week 10 when they’ll face the 2-6 Miami Dolphins, a team that desperately needs a victory to keep its season alive.
With their improved record, the Rams have been steadily climbing NFL power rankings. They’ve gone from a bottom-10 team to one that’s now approached the top 15, making them a fringe playoff contender in the NFC.
Looking at power rankings around the internet after Week 9’s results, the Rams have made yet another jump. Their average position moved from 17.4 to 15.2, showing just how much respect they’ve garnered lately.

The Rams took down the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, a game they won on the road in overtime thanks to a huge fourth-down stand and a game-winning touchdown pass from Matthew Stafford to Demarcus Robinson.
The offense has hit its stride with Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua back, while the defense is wreaking havoc each week, led by its young defensive front and improving secondary.
With the Rams’ overall health getting better and two more starting linemen on their way back, they’re a team that no one can take lightly down the stretch.
