After a monster season, the Los Angeles Rams should find themselves part of the NFL prime-time schedule. Some match ups could be absolute “must-see” TV.
When the National Football League rolls out the 2018 schedule, it would seem logical that the Los Angeles Rams are a part of the prime-time schedule beyond the obligatory Thursday Night Color Rush appearance.
Then again, the words “logic” and “NFL” aren’t necessarily in the same sentence of late.
However, given the success of what is happening in an NFL media market like Los Angeles, and a few possible postseason honors coming the Rams way, popularity of an up and comer should be appealing to a prime-time TV schedule.
Also, the league should look to get not just the team on the evening programming slate, but the city of Los Angeles involved also. Say what you want about the aging Coliseum, but the sight lines look amazing on the flat screen, and LA fans are LONG overdue for some Happy Hour tailgating.
But what games should the Rams be reintroduced to the evening viewing audience?
Hopefully, schedulers will look beyond a token NFC West matchup that is obvious. Los Angeles has some good opponents heading out west, and the Rams have also shown to be a great road team.
So, who could be must-see TV?
Here’s three that would be great stand alone games.
