NFL Power Rankings Week 16: Seahawks Bury Rams on TNF

The Los Angeles Rams lost their fifth straight game on Thursday Night Football against the Seattle Seahawks, keeping them near the bottom of the NFL Power Rankings Week 16 edition.

New coach, same old results for the Los Angeles Rams as their offense failed to score a touchdown against the vaunted Seattle Seahawks defense.

There were actually some who thought the Rams would give the Seahawks a challenge, which was ridiculous to even consider after watching the Rams play lifeless offense all season.

Despite firing head coach Jeff Fisher, the Rams looked like nothing had changed and scored just three points against an elite Seahawks defense. Adding injury to insult, Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman destroyed Rams quarterback Jared Goff during his attempt to scramble for a touchdown, which ended in Goff getting a concussion and being knocked out of the game.

The Rams have now lost five straight contests and it’s abundantly clear nothing is going to get better before the end of season. Now all that’s left is to pick up the pieces from another failed campaign and hope a new head coach in 2017 can get this team on the right track.

Now that we’ve broken down the mess that is the Rams, it’s time to take a look at the rest of the league and see where they rank going into Week 16. It’s hard to believe we are just a few weeks away from the playoffs, but plenty of things can happen between now and then to drastically change the playoff picture.
