As the St. Louis Rams enter their bye week with a record of 2-3, fans have seen the good and bad. The Rams opened up the season by knocking off Super Bowl contenders Seattle Seahawks, yet recorded back to back losses to the Washington Redskins and Pittsburgh Steelers. The Rams bounced back and made their name known in the desert as they beat the once undefeated Arizona Cardinals. St. Louis continued the success of their new found new running game and defensive power as they went to Lambaeu to face the Packers last week, but poor a passing game failed them leading to the 24-10 loss.

Five games into the season for the Rams, can they be a playoff contending team for the rest of the season? The short answer, yes they can. Let’s take a look on how the Rams can make a push for the playoffs.
