Going undefeated in the NFL is difficult enough, and it just got even tougher with the league expanding to a 17-game regular season starting in 2021. The Los Angeles Rams have the talent to make a deep playoff run with Matthew Stafford at quarterback and both Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey on defense, but do they have a chance to go 17-0?

Mark Lane of Touchdown Wire picked five teams with the best chance to go undefeated next season and the Rams were among them. Lane’s main argument is that the Rams went 13-3 in 2018 with Jared Goff at quarterback, and now that Stafford is taking over, they have a chance to recreate some of their magic from three seasons ago.

Los Angeles also plays the NFC North, which has one dominant team in the Green Bay Packers, the AFC South, which has two really bad teams in the Jacksonville Jaguars and Houston Texans. Furthermore, the Tennessee Titans will visit Los Angeles.
If the Rams are able to recreate the same success that they had in 2018, they will have a decent shot at perfection. The schedule is doing them some favors, too.

The Rams’ schedule is no cake walk, though. They’ll play six games against the Cardinals, 49ers and Seahawks, all of which could make the playoffs. They’ll also face the Ravens as part of the 17-game schedule, with the Titans, Packers, Bucs and Colts also on their schedule.
Getting through that slate of games without a loss will be extremely difficult, but on paper, the Rams look like one of the best teams in football. Just don’t set your expectations at 17-0 because it’s highly unlikely anyone will go undefeated in 2021.

The NFL is moving to a 17-game season, so going undefeated just got tougher. Could the Rams do it in 2021?

Back on track. It’s not the losses I care about, it’s ending the season with the
Lombardi. Oh hell 20-0 would be freaking awesome!

 

[Loyal]

So maybeI should hold off on that Rams' Super Bowl LVI face tatt a lil' longer?

I just want top seed. Beyond that it's probably a good thing to drop a game or two.

Fixed.

 

[yrba1]

I’d rather be 4-0 or 3-0 in the postseason

 

[CGI_Ram]

I am not sure 17-0 is possible in today’s NFL.

19-1 sounds really good, but is it?

As long as the 1 isn’t the final week.

I hope the Rams have a great year and win it all but this is just offseason fluff. Nobody's going 17-0. Too many games. Too much potential for key injuries.

i just WANT TO win the first game

McVay used to have a "win every quarter" approach, 3 out of first 4 etc. That would still work for me, as long we get the extra win for the extra game somewhere.

13-4.

Ya know, it wasnt all that long ago that the Rams would have been on a list of teams that could possibly go 0-16...
Thank god those days are behind us

And not long ago when 7-9, after cratering early in the season, was a lock and a positive.
