“After an ugly win over the Giants in Week 4, the Rams were back to looking like a balanced, high-functioning unit in a 30-10 win over Washington.”

“The Rams had some explosive plays in the passing game, as Jared Goff threw for 309 on just 30 attempts, and most of that happened in the rain. Whatever happened in last week’s lackluster win over the Giants, the Rams seem to have shaken it off.”

“As well as QB Jared Goff and DL Aaron Donald are once again playing, a big reason Los Angeles is winning again is the underappreciated resurgence of its offensive line.”

Note: The MMQB staff rotates who compiles the Power Rankings each week. This week, it was columnist Gary Gramling’s turn.

“With the exception of the slow start in Buffalo, the Rams have done pretty much exactly what they want to do against every opponent they’ve faced this season. And the fact that they clawed back against the Bills—it was fair to question whether or not Jared Goff could—was plenty encouraging. It seems like the coach has things figured out.”

CBS Sports, Pete Prisco Rank: 10

“They have dominated the NFC East to get to 4-1 to open the season. Sean McVay has this team playing well, and they are the class of the NFC West.”

7. Los Angeles Rams

The Rams hit Washington with an avalanche of explosive plays and improved to 4-0 against the NFC East this season. Aaron Donald had four sacks and a performance that was so dominant you just felt bad for the Washington offensive linemen — if he had that game in Pop Warner, the coaches would have pulled him at halftime and made him play up a level or two. Donald has been great for a long time, but we might be seeing him at the peak of his powers right now. The Rams have a big one Sunday night at San Francisco.
