See how the Los Angeles Rams made out in the NFL Power Rankings Week 8 after their big road win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.

After being on the decline in the previous three weeks, the NFL Power Rankings Week 8 have finally seen the Los Angeles Rams back on the rise following their impressive 37-10 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.

Since the Rams entered Sunday’s game on a three-game losing streak on top of the Falcons arguably being on the verge of hitting desperation mode, there were some concerns over the Rams coming up short for a fourth week in a row.

By winning a tough game on the road in Atlanta, this Los Angeles deserves plenty of credit for coming up big, and avoid dropping below .500 on the season, although the Rams clearly have plenty of areas still in need of improvement.

One win certainly doesn’t mean all is well in Los Angeles since the defending NFC champions still find themselves in a deep hole compared to some of the other top contenders in the conference.

Not to mention, the NFC West is quickly becoming one of the most difficult divisions to compete in since the Arizona Cardinals are heating up on top of the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks continuing to be two of the favorites from the first half of 2019.

But since there’s still plenty of football remaining, the best approach for the Rams at the moment is to enjoy what took place in Week 7 since their win over the Falcons was big for numerous reasons, especially in the latest Power Rankings.

As for how much this victory actually helped Los Angeles in the ranks, well it’s time to jump right in, and take a closer look at the latest edition.
