After kicking off the year on a hot note, see where the Los Angeles Rams sit for the 2017 NFL Power Rankings Week 2.

All of a sudden, the Los Angeles Rams are on the rise when it comes to the 2017 NFL Power Rankings Week 2 thanks to the team’s crushing 46-9 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Now, the question becomes whether the Rams have what it takes to continue rising on this list, as they look to improve from last year’s disastrous 4-12 finish.

Thanks to numerous key changes made during the offseason, Los Angeles was considered a potential sleeper team in the NFC, but the argument can be made that nobody expected them to look as good as they did when facing Indianapolis. Obviously, the Rams most likely won’t be playing at that high level on a weekly basis, but at least the team is finally giving their fans reasons to be excited.

Los Angeles took a huge risk by hiring Sean McVay as the youngest head coach during the offseason after dealing with the firing of Jeff Fisher prior to the end of last year, and even though it’s only one game, early signs point to this being the right choice. So by starting off with the New York Jets, let’s see how high the Rams are this week for the 2017 NFL Power Rankings for Week 2.
