Can the Horns build on their 10-7 finish and wild card exit in 2024?
Following a surprise 10-7 season in 2023, the Los Angeles Rams made a wild card berth in the playoffs, one season removed from a miserable 5-12 finish. The team just picked 10 new players in a generally well-regarded 2024 NFL Draft run, starting with the No. 19 selection, former Florida State University defensive end Jared Verse.
So why does Bill Simmons of The Ringer believe the team could be due for a regression? We'll let him tell you, via his eponymous show"The only reason I paused on them as, I didn't know if they were going to get better, is because they lost Aaron Donald, one of the most important football players in this century," Simmons says.
"So I just don't know what that means," Simmons continued."It's one of those things. Sometimes a transformative guy like that leaves a team, and there's just this gaping hole that people are like, 'Oh, we know it was going to be bad, but we didn't know it was going to be like this!'" Donald announced his retirement, wrapping up an incredible run as a 10-time Pro Bowl honoree, a three-time Defensive Player of the Year, and a Super Bowl champion. He's destined to become a first ball Hall of Famer, and surely will be missed to some extent.
