The Rams have seen many proclaim them as the 2018 offseason winner. High profile acquisitions like Suh, Talib, and Cooks on offense kept Los Angeles on the front pages and a hot topic with sports fans and NFL commentators, especially on social media and talk radio.

Winning can certainly cover for a lot of issues that would otherwise hamper a team who is losing, and the Rams aren’t even thinking of taking such a step back.
