NFL Power Rankings, Week 10: Rams face plenty of pressure following bye week
By Dan Parzych
Here are the NFL Power Rankings Week 10 with the Los Angeles Rams hoping to benefit from extra rest after their bye week.
Despite being on the rise in recent weeks, the Los Angeles Rams still have plenty of work to do when it comes to continuing to climb the NFL Power Rankings Week 10, especially when seeing how the rest of the NFC is shaping out.
To say the bye week came at the perfect time for Sean McVay and company would be a huge understatement when taking into consideration the Rams currently trail both the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks in the NFC West standings.
Rightfully so, Los Angeles entered the 2019 season as one of the early favorites to make another run at the Super Bowl in the NFC, and while the team should be thrilled over their recent winning streak, also keep in mind who the wins were against.
Since the Atlanta Falcons and Cincinnati Bengals have one win combined heading into Week 10, the true tests will come for the Rams during these final two months when they face legitimate contenders, beginning on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
If anything, previous losses to other contenders before their bye week such as the 49ers and Seahawks shows the kind of pressure the Rams will be dealing with over the next few weeks to prove they can in fact compete for a playoff spot in the NFC.
As for what the bye week did for the Rams in the latest NFL Power Rankings, well instead of wasting anymore time, let’s jump right in on the action since there’s plenty to discuss as always.
