if you’re a Rams fan, you should be going WILD right now. these guys took 0 snaps together in the PS and it was visible, Stafford missed two throws (Woods over MOF, DeSean first catch) because of the lack of timing.

they’re going to get better. they’ve got a masssssive ceiling.

Offensive line: A-
Considering the defensive front the Rams faced on Sunday night, it was a good performance by the O-line. They allowed just one sack and four total hits on Matthew Stafford, though it didn’t even seem like that many while watching the game.

He had a ton of time in the pocket and those deep shots were well-protected, allowing them to develop down the field. Brian Allen still has room for improvement and Andrew Whitworth wasn’t in peak form yet, but Rob Havenstein and David Edwards did good jobs in their respective matchups with Khalil Mack and Akiem Hicks.

6. Arizona Cardinals (1-0, LW: 19)

That’s why the Cardinals were smart to not give in to Chandler Jones’ trade request. The brass there needs to win now, and Jones makes a huge difference. He had five sacks and will be one of the NFL’s best defensive players. The Cardinals looked great on both sides of the ball.

5. Seattle Seahawks (1-0, LW: 8)

Two plays that looked a lot easier than they were: Tyler Lockett made an unbelievable adjustment to catch a touchdown over his shoulder …

… then Russell Wilson threw a pass that went about 60 yards in the air and hit Lockett in stride for a game-changing touchdown. These plays were the difference in a win.

4. Los Angeles Rams (1-0, LW: 7)

Everything looked great. I wonder if that was because the Bears are a really bad team, but part of being a contender is taking care of business against bad teams. The Rams did just that.

3. San Francisco 49ers (1-0, LW: 5)

Think of the 49ers this way: They barely used Trey Lance, who is their most talented quarterback. Trey Sermon, a back everyone had high hopes for, was surprisingly inactive. Raheem Mostert got hurt early in the game. Brandon Aiyuk, perhaps because he’s barely back from a hamstring injury, didn’t get a target after playing so well last season. And the 49ers still put up 41 points on the road. All those aforementioned players are very good and will be factors as we go on. The 49ers are going to be really good.

2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-0, LW: 2)

Well, Tom Brady still is in his prime. The Buccaneers have a lot to work on, but realistically it’s pretty good if you can turn it over four times and still win a game against a talented Cowboys team.

1. Kansas City Chiefs (1-0, LW: 1)

In the second half of last season, the Chiefs kept doing just enough to win. They didn’t blow anyone out. It’s not a good habit for an elite team to get into. Yet on Sunday, the Chiefs fell behind and had to rally to win. The Browns are good and the Chiefs will get healthier, but it’ll be nice to see them dominate some opponents (it probably won’t happen at Baltimore in Week 2).

Being a Pro Bowl WR in the NFC is tough when you have the likes of Adams, Cooper, Godwin, Evans, Hopkins etc in the conference, but if Cooper Kupp plays all 17 games as the focal point of the Rams offense you have to imagine he makes it for the first time

#49ers coach Kyle Shanahan announced that RB Raheem Mostert has chipped cartilage in his knee and is headed to IR. Should be about 8 weeks.
