Still relatively early, but Rams’ points differential is +58, 3rd best in the NFL. As the season progresses, this tends to be one of the more telling stats about teams.

TeamRankings.com ranks the Rams 3rd and shows them with a 50.1% chance to win 12 or more games. As their projections show, that may or may not be enough to win the NFC West. They have 71% odds to win 11+ games.

Rams’ defense is top 5 in the league in many categories- points allowed (2nd), 3rd down % (5th), red zone defense (2nd), yards/play (5th), QB sacks (2nd), fumble recoveries (1st), turnover percentage (5th), passing yards/completion (5th), net yards/pass (4th), passing TD % (4th), QB hits (3rd), and QB knockdowns/pass attempt (2nd).

Stafford is now 5th in Rams’ history in passing yards, TDs, completions and attempts. He has a good chance to finish 4th or better by year end.

Kyren Williams became the 13th Rams RB to reach 3,000+ yards rushing and is within 213 yards of the top-10. He could finish as high as 7th this season.
