LOS ANGELES’ BEST PUSHBACK
Roster Strength Is Los Angeles’ Only Close Fight
Los Angeles' roster gives the team one place to push back. The Rams are only 0.9 points behind Kansas City in Roster Strength, but that is where Los Angeles' case ends. Kansas City still has Patrick Mahomes at quarterback and Andy Reid leading the coaching staff, two advantages the Rams cannot match in this comparison.
