The Los Angeles Rams are in a familiar spot. For their second consecutive year, the Rams have hit rock bottom after facing the Green Bay Packers. Last year, the team was able to turn around a 3-6 record and make it to the playoffs.
Will they be able to do so again? With the team on bye and starting from a 1-4 record, there is no quick path back to .500. However, a realistic path might lie out in the fog ahead.
Here’s a look at what (realistically) could get the team back into the playoff picture at .500. Step 1: Correctly Manage The Bye Week The first piece to the puzzle is already here.
The Los Angeles Rams can’t lose this week and should only get healthier over their bye-week break. That said, at 1-4, they can’t afford to go on vacation and completely check out, either.
