The Rams finally ascend to the top spot.
It’s hard to get them there, based on fact that the Eagles had beaten them head to head.
But now that the Eagles have fallen a bit, fallen off that first Quad Box spot right?
There, uh, yeah, they’re like, it’s hard to deny.
The Rams look so good on Sunday night.
They dismantle the Buccaneers team who, by the way, is going to still moonwalk to the NFC South Championship?
Like, the NFC South stinks, and look at the Buccaneers remaining schedule.
But it was really impressive, by the way.
It’s hard to find a weakness.
I will say this, though.
The Rams are the No.

1 team right now, deserve it, fully deserve it.
They could win a Super Bowl.
They also might not win the NFC West.
I mean, the two best teams in the NFL probably play in the same division this year.
It is, it is going to be really, really fun to watch that race the rest of the year.
But yes, the Ramslook, Matthew Stafford should be MVP right now.
As much as I love touting non-quarterbacks for the award, It’s Stafford’s to lose at this point.
The defense is great; the receivers are awesome, like the coach is awesome.
Like there’s nothing to pick holes with the Rams right now.
They’re the number-one team right now.

So, Frank, let me ask you this question: I’ve gotten some grief in our production.
Meetings.
Our great producer Mike Goldfarb mentions He says it all the time.
This is the statement he always makes.
The Rams are clearly the best team in the NFL.
I am the one in the show meetings every time that says, I don’t know if it’s clear, like, I just, I really like the Seahawks.
So for you, how clear is it that the Rams are better than the Seahawks today?
Yeah, and it’s funny because everybody’s got the Rams number one this week.
And I get that.
We forget; again, its 181 game seasons.
That’s what we do when we cover the NFL.

We forget that nine days ago, the Seattle Seahawks were in Los Angeles, After throwing four interceptions, lined up for a field goal to beat the Rams on the last play.
The game.
Like they were that close, and Jason Myers Missed a 61-yarder, it happens, but they were that close to, We were sitting here talking about, yeah, Nobody can beat the Seahawks.
They just went in, they threw four interceptions and beat Los Angeles Rams in their house, uh, based on one play.
Like thats, That’s how the NFL goes.
We switch; the narratives completely flip every single week.
So don’t count out the Seahawks.
The Seahawks are really a strong team, Really good football team.

Rams have some tiebreaker advantages.
Forward if they, like, you know, if, if the Seahawks even win in Week 16, If the Rams win and win the rest of their games, they win the tiebreaker in the NFC West.
But clearly, they’re not the best team in the NFL because they’re not the best Team in the NFC West.
Remember, again, 2119.
Just nine days ago in L.A., told me the Seahawks are right there with the L.A. Rams.
