At the risk of understating things, Monday’s game is huge. For both teams.
In fact, if the Saints beat the Falcons, which doesn’t seem to be a huge task, Tampa is in a more desperate situation than the Rams. Falling to 7-4 if the Saints go to 8-2 puts them out of the division race for all intents and purposes, having lost their 2 head to head matchups. The Saints play one game that should be a loss (KC) while the other 5 seem very winnable. The only concern is 4 of the last 6 are on the road, KC and Minnesota being their final 2 home games.
If the Rams should lose to Tampa, they can always climb back into a tie with Seattle via another head to head win which would also give them a tie breaker over the Seahawks. It’s a tough ask but it can be done. Better to beat Tampa and reach a tie with Seattle after 10 weeks. It would give the Rams a little wiggle room with the 5 opponents not from Seattle over the last 6 weeks.
It is time for the Rams to put a complete game together offensively. Use all three running backs. Go deep a few times. Put up 30+.
