Los Angeles Rams: 5 best games before the bye week

At 10-1, the Los Angeles Rams are primed for a run at the Super Bowl. Here are 5 games that show them a worthy contender.

With 11 games in, fans can debate which of any of those games on the 2018 schedule they think are the best the Los Angeles Rams have played so far this season. It’s not complicated, but it is subjective.

Is it the Oakland Raiders in Week 1 to begin an 8-0 record?
What about the battle of LA against the Los Angeles Chargers?
You could argue the post-snow cold weather game against the Denver Broncos defined the kind of team they would become.
Or, maybe the once NFC rivalry that was the Rams and Seattle Seahawks that LA has managed to escape with close wins.

Whatever your preference, the Rams have played more than a few games that define a team sitting at 10-1 at their bye week, with a stretch that could shape how they get to the postseason. And after a stunning performance against a Kansas City Chiefs team who will feature prominently oin the postseason for the AFC, Los Angeles has shown that along with the New Orleans Saints, the NFC will run through a Rams organization loaded for a championship run.

The Rams have played 11 games. Some were less defining than others, but here are five that best show what Los Angeles is about as a team and as an organization, and why a Super Bowl in 2018 is within reach.
