The Los Angeles Rams are one of the obvious favorites to compete for a Super Bowl title this coming season. Reigning league MVP Matthew Stafford is still at the quarterback position, and the franchise brought in reigning unanimous Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett in a blockbuster trade deal earlier this offseason. The hype surrounding the Rams reached new heights when they brought all-time great NFL pass rusher Aaron Donald out of retirement for their upcoming campaign.
Analysts have big expectations for the Rams. However, LA Times columnist Bill Plaschke is taking these expectations a step further. Plaschke believes the Rams won't lose a single game en route to a Super Bowl title this season.
The win column," Plaschke wrote. "The Rams are not losing a game. Seventeen-and-oh in a favorable regular season schedule.
Three-and-oh in a postseason conducted entirely at home. An NFL record combined 20-0 culminating in a Super Bowl LXI victory on Valentine’s Day at SoFi Stadium. "This obviously sounds crazy.
This clearly sounds like a blazing hot take that will chill soon and embarrass often. The Rams are heavy Super Bowl favorites for a reason. They’re that ready.” The 1972 Miami Dolphins are the only team in the modern Super Bowl era to go undefeated throughout an entire season and win the title.
The Rams will begin their 2026 campaign with a Week 1 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers in Australia on Thursday night.
