Here are the biggest threats to the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC following the team’s Week 4 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

In what ended up being one of the biggest surprises from Week 4, the Los Angeles Rams came up short in embarrassing fashion to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 55-40 to suffer their first official loss of the 2019 season.

Nothing against the Buccaneers since the team certainly deserves a ton of credit for taking down the defending NFC champions the way they did, there’s a reason why the Rams were originally strong favorites to win this one.

Now that Week 4 is officially in the books, the pressure is on for Los Angeles playing on a shorter week Thursday night against a familiar face in the Seattle Seahawks, who happen to have the same 3-1 record as their division rivals.

While there’s still plenty of football remaining since it’s only October, and plenty could happen from now until the end of December, the last thing the Rams can afford to do is lose a second game in a row.

Of course, the Seahawks aren’t the only team in the NFC the Rams should be worrying about at this point with one month of regular season action in the book since there are numerous teams making strong cases to be playoff contenders.

After another exciting weekend of action, it’s time to take another look at the biggest threats to Los Angeles within the NFC following their tough loss at home to Tampa Bay during Week 4.

To no one’s surprise, it only seems fair to discuss the Seahawks first, especially since they happen to be Thursday’s opponent for the Rams.
