Rams are still stunned, saddened after a standout season ended just short of another Super Bowl
The Rams aim to fix a historically weak secondary and special teams while securing Matthew Stafford’s $40 million guaranteed contract by March, with two first-round draft picks available.
- The Los Angeles Rams' NFC Championship loss to the Seattle Seahawks 31-27 ended their season, leaving them one win short of another Super Bowl after earlier playoff victories.
- Sean McVay burned a timeout, declined a challenge, then Sam Darnold found Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and special teams suffered when Xavier Smith muffed a punt leading to a Seattle touchdown.
- Despite a standout year from Stafford, the Rams finished 14-6 with all six losses by one score, as Stafford led the league with 4,707 yards and 46 TDs including 374 yards and three TDs on Sunday.
- After cleaning out lockers in Woodland Hills, the Rams front office faces offseason decisions as Stafford must commit by the fifth day of the new league year in March to avoid owing $40 million guaranteed.
- The front office can keep most contributors while adding targeted pieces as the Rams have cap space and hold the 13th and 29th picks to prioritize a cornerback and special-teams help in April and free agency.
