Nothing like that is happening this year for the Rams, whose Super Bowl title defense isAfter the win in Arizona, they’re alive for a playoff spot, but the postseason is not looking as certain as it appeared in the preseason when Las Vegas made them the sixth choice to win the Super Bowl, with an over-under line of 10½ victories.
At 6-5 they’re three games behind the AFC West-leading Chiefs with six to play, and they and the Patriots are a game behind the Bengals and Jets in the race for the last AFC wild card. “At this point, all games for us feel like a must-win,” running back Austin Ekeler said after the Cardinals game.that they need to go at least 4-2 the rest of the way and finish no worse than 10-7 to make the playoffs, avoiding another near miss like they suffered last year at 9-8.But right now, the people who project playoff possibilities give the Chargers no better than a 50-50 shot at pulling it off.
