With the NFL schedule officially released for the 2017 season, here are five notable games for the Los Angeles Rams.

Believe it or not, there seems to be plenty of excitement surrounding the Los Angeles Rams heading into the 2017 season now that Sean McVay has officially taken over as head coach. While the Rams have every reason in the world to be excited about the potential surrounding the upcoming NFL Draft, Thursday’s release of the 2017 NFL schedule helped take that excitement to a whole new level.

Los Angeles may be coming off a disappointing 2016 campaign in which they only managed to win four games all season, but between the changes to the coaching staff along with the development of Jared Goff, hopefully all of that will change next season. Even if McVay and the Rams experience some growing pains at times, anything seems better than what Jeff Fisher was capable of accomplishing over the previous five seasons with the team.

Outside of facing each team in the NFC West twice, Los Angeles will certainly be tested in 2017 by facing the teams from the NFC East and AFC South, two divisions with numerous teams expected to be playoff contenders. To help pass the time until next week’s draft officially gets underway, take a look at the top five notable games that stick out for the Rams during the 2017 season.
