29. Los Angeles Rams

Remember at the beginning of the season when the Los Angeles Rams seemed capable of being a potential sleeper in the NFC after jumping out to a 3-1 start? Instead of competing for the division with the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals, the Rams would become the laughing stock of the NFL on offense by only averaging 14 points per game in 2016 while losing 11 of their final 12 games.

So where does Los Angeles go from here to make sure they win more than four games in 2017? Well for starters, at least the team made the right decision to fire Jeff Fisher towards the end of the season before eventually making Sean McVay the youngest head coach in NFL history heading into next year. Along with McVay, the Rams brought Wade Phillips on board to lead Aaron Donald and the rest of the defense.

McVay will most likely go through the normal growing pains of head coaches in their first year, but it’s tough not to get excited about the potential surrounding this team. But if this team is going to reach their true potential, Los Angeles will need to build more weapons around Jared Goff and Todd Gurley on offense.
