...the running game gets going (it has shown some promising signs of life), the offensive line plays better than it did earlier in the season (this factor also seems promising), McVay keeps getting production from the tight ends (this asset wasn't exploited much against the Bengals), and key players such as Cooper Kupp stay healthy. The schedules of the Rams and their Division opponents are favorable for the Rams making a run. The opportunity is there. The defense should be much better with the addition of Jalen Ramsey. The situation looks bad for Brandin Cooks, but he has been only the third best wide receiver. I would much rather see Josh Reynolds stepping in for Cooks than for Kupp. Todd Gurley is still capable of making the occasional big play. All they need is for some breaks to go their way and to not go the way of the 49ers and Seahawks. Hopefully, they won't have any further game deciding bad luck like the missed FG at the end of the Seahawks game.
