My vote goes to the Rams. Granted they've played some very weak teams so far (Colts, 49ers, Giants), at 6-2 they have almost as many wins through half a season since the last days of the Greatest Show on Turf. Goff is playing much better than I ever thought he would, Gurley seems to have shaken his sophomore slump for the most part, and all this while their defense has not been as good as it has been in years past. If they get it together on the defensive side of the ball, which they definitely have the pieces in place to do so, they may come away with a playoff win come January.
I am hoping they will not falter down the stretch though, as their schedule gets more difficult (Vikings, Saints, Eagles, Seahawks, and Titans are 5 of their last 8 games).

This is most accurate. The Rams needed someone who could help them put it all together. McVay has been just that. Same with Jacksonville. Those 2 teams have been accumulating talent for years.

Rams, for sure. They won 4 games last year. You expect a new HC to have some growing pains, some transition stuff that most teams go through.

Wait, what? What happened to him?!

Sounds like lying runs in the family over at the Bennett household.

The exact phrase I read was, "His shoulder is not healing properly." And I've seen the word "Degenerative" used, although if that's medically accurate, I have no idea. But the feeling is he's no closer to playing in an NFL game now than he was ten months ago.
Again, hearsay, but a lot of it, with very little upside for anyone close to the franchise to spread.

Irsay told Dungy the injury was all in Luck's head...allegedly. On ESPN they were saying that Doctors say he's fine, but he's not ready. Who knows what to believe.
