around the league going into week 13

from Nate Atkins: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6837547/2025/11/26/rams-stats-six-game-win-streak/?source=emp_shared_article

22-9

That’s the record of the Rams’ past three opponents in games other than against Los Angeles. Those opponents were the 49ers, Seahawks and Buccaneers.

The story of the early portion of this six-game winning streak was about the Rams overwhelming undermanned teams. They faced the Ravens without Lamar Jackson and a Saints team that is now 2-9 and had quarterback Tyler Shough making his first career start.

But the past three weeks, the Rams have outscored three playoff-caliber teams by a combined 45 points.

Holy shit. Thought I was crazy but this 100% tracks with what I saw on film. Guys going the wrong way. Players looking like they’re running different playcalls. OL mixups. WRs in the same areas. Jeanty running into negative EV alignments. Wrote “drunk playcalling” in my notes. https://t.co/f9yerF1Qlo

Now, let’s step back to assess the info. Insiders mainly get their info from agents. This likely came from Geno’s agent who has reason to say “Chip was the problem not Geno.” Normally, I’d say let’s wait and see but the film agrees with the info.

But with all this info agreeing with the film, and feeling like it’s impossible for Geno to be THIS bad after looking so much better recently, I would venture to guess the Raiders look like a different team on offense now.

“It's SUCH a struggle…”

“I'm not the only one who sees it…there’s no motion or very little. You don't see stacks, you don't see bunches, you don't see route concepts and combinations where 2 or 3 receivers are running routes that complement one another…”@GregCosell gives… pic.twitter.com/Oz0o6qTYwd

Very surprised by the Bears win over Philly. I really thought Chicago was the weakest of the playoff contenders. I guess they are for real.

That even puts the Bears ahead of GB and Detroit in their division. They are competing with Seattle for the 2nd seed in the NFC.

Against the Eagles, Bears RB Kyle Monangai got 130 yards on 22 carries, and D’Andre Swift got 125 yards on 18 carries. Caleb Williams didn’t even complete 50% of his passes, but didn’t have to apparently.

Lions getting some help.

“..As vaguely indicated by the Lions’ social media accounts and confirmed by NFL insider Ian Rapoport, former All-Pro center Frank Ragnow is shockingly unretiring to come back and play for Detroit.

Frank Ragnow failed his physical and will not play this season for the Lions.

The Bears run game is functioning like a well-orchestrated symphony with them hitting their peak against the Eagles. Zone-based with gap concepts sprinkled in. Shrewd use of motion to clear out space, QB ball-handling from Caleb on point, cameraman being faked out. Ben Johnson &… pic.twitter.com/9iM5gDsIRt

the faulk trade was a pretty good trade actually.

It was a good trade but not mutually beneficial the way the Goff/Stafford trade was.

IND sold Faulk short for a 2nd rounder. They made up for losing him by taking Edgerrin James, but that was them using a non-trade, homegrown pick to make up for losing Faulk, it wasn’t them getting something for trading Faulk. So for the Rams it was a steal, and for the Colts its was just “time to move on.”

IND took LB Mike Peterson with the Rams 2nd round pick, and while he was good, he was not equal in value to Faulk. That’s not like [Goff + good picks they made good use of] for [Stafford].
