12 days of Christmas winners for the LA Rams in a Week 16 win over the Jets

Deck the halls with boughs of holly. The LA Rams (9-6) have not yet completed a stunning comeback to earn the right to compete in the 2025 NFL Playoffs, but the team has risen from the ashes of a horrific start of 1-4 to the top of the NFC West Division. Two teams, the Arizona Cardinals (7-8) and the San Francisco 49ers (6-9) have already been eliminated from post-season competition. So it comes down to the LA Rams and the Seattle Seahawks (8-7) right now for the NFC West Division Championship.

The Rams have already won one head-to-head competition. That means that the Seahawks must win both remaining games on their schedule, the Rams must lose the season's final game, and a host of other things must happen in the NFL that are out of either team's control to determine who wins the division.

We'll explore the complex formulae that would be necessary if the Rams and Seahawks end the season tied. But for now, let's focus on the LA Rams, and the players who have helped get the team to a 9-6 record with just two games to go.

Borrowing the idea from Good Morning Football, we'll call this the LA Rams Nice List:

Of course, in keeping with the holiday spirit, the LA Rams are filled with players who belong on the nice list, and I'm not certain that I have the time or readers have the patience to sort through a list of 40+ players and coaches who have helped transform the team from struggling to accomplished.
