Confirmed by ESPN Stats&Info: Since sacks became an official stat in 1982, Aaron Donald is the first @rams player — and the first interior rusher in @nfl history (!!) — to record 8+ sacks in each of his first 4 seasons. ••••••••••
Here’s the full list of #NFL players who have done it: Donald, Dwight Freeney (EDGE), Terrell Suggs (EDGE), Derrick Thomas (EDGE), DeMarcus Ware (EDGE), Reggie White (EDGE).

The #Rams are now in complete control of creating a scenario in which two wins would be needed to get to the #SuperBowl rather than three, with at least one of the two at home. #thinkbig

They beat the #Eagles on Sunday they take over the second seed in the #NFC playoffs.

Hard not to think something special is up with the #Rams when all the right doors are opening at all the right times. The #Seahawks beating the #Eagles a case in point.

Rams DL Michael Brockers was in the backfield on almost every place kick. Rams ST coach John Fassel clearly saw an opportunity and exploited.

It’s almost inconceivable that Rams-Seahawks would be flexed to SNF, btw. Not with Cowboys and Raiders clawing their way back to relevance. Still a golden matchup, ratings wise.

The NFL is more interesting when Seattle is good.

Just rewatched the SNF game. Russell Wilson is making throws that are nearly impossible for right handed QBs to make. This is his best year yet, even if statistically he’s had better seasons. @Seahawks

NFL announces that Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski has been suspended for one game for diving on Bills CB Tre’Davious White.

Real talk: Rob Gronkowski’s suspension will probably have a bigger impact on fantasy football than it does on the New England Patriot

McVay says he didn’t study Goff or Wentz “knowing where those guys were going to be slotted.”

“These are the games that you better be ready to go for.” — Sean McVay on Eagles-Rams @CVRamsClub

McVay mentions the pressure the Eagles can generate with a four-man front. “They don’t have any weaknesses… they know what they’re doing.”

Calls the Eagles “a complete team.” And “I know they have a quarterback who sure is making a lot of great plays.” @CVRamsClub

Aaron Donald, on AM 570, says he thinks Sunday’s game vs. Philadelphia “will be a dogfight. This is an important game for us.” @CVRamsClub

Donald says the Eagles are “still dangerous. They’re still the team that’s winning every week. They just made a few mistakes last night.”

AD: “Now when people see us on the schedule, we’re a problem… We definitely walk into the stadium a little bit more confident.” @CVRamsClub

Rams had to go silent count at the end of the Seattle home game in October. McVay said he might practice it this week as a “contingency.”

Gurley needs 498 yards in last 4 games to reach 2,000 from scrimmage. Would be a remarkable achievement and but him alongside Jackson, Dickerson, Faulk.

I don’t know a single local media member (any who took the time to attend a practice last season) who didn’t say the same thing about Jared Goff: typical rookie up-and-down play, with subpar protection, targets and coaching. His grade last year was ”incomplete” at worst.

Rams at Eagles will go into their matchup exactly tied as the NFL’s highest-scoring offense: 30.1 points per game each. Eagles are third in yards/game; Rams fourth.

#Eagles players already talking about #Rams DT Aaron Donald next week in postgame locker room. Wisniewski to Brandon Brooks: “gotta line a guy up two yards offsides to prepare for that guy.”

Steve Mason‏@VeniceMase
The city of L.A. & local sports media had completely written off @JaredGoff16 after last year.

Ryan Kartje‏@Ryan_Kartje
Umm … not sure what local media is being referenced here because no #Rams beat writers wrote him off even a single time

Spent tonight at an Eagles bar. Main takeaway: Not sure I’ve seen unconditional love quite like Eagles fans have for Carson Wentz

Seahawks remaining schedule: Jaguars, Rams, Cowboys, Cardinals.
Rams remaining schedule: Eagles, Seahawks, Titans, 49ers.
#Rams lead by one game with a month left. Gonna be one hell of a month.
