15. Los Angeles Rams (13)

Winning two games in a row before the bye week would certainly make it seem like the Rams will return for Week 10 playing with a ton of confidence, but this team still has a long way to go when it comes to earning a playoff spot in the NFC.

For starters, Los Angeles defeating the Atlanta Falcons and Cincinnati Bengals shouldn’t be bragged about at all when looking at the kind of seasons these two teams are having in 2019.

A few weeks ago, there were plenty of concerns surrounding the Rams after putting together a three-game losing streak for the first time during the Sean McVay era, and until this team starts beating serious contenders, the concerns will continue to be there.

After enjoying some time off following their trip to London, the Rams will be heavily tested right away with a battle on the road against a Pittsburgh Steelers team in need of every win possible they can get as well.

Playing on the road has been an issue at times for Los Angeles over the years, but hopefully the team can find a way to carry the momentum over from their previous two wins.

Otherwise, the pressure is only going to continue to increase for the Rams in the NFC.
