Totally agree with you. Most physical and sound team we’ve played all year. Won’t be easy if we have to face them again. Have to match them physically and play turnover free.

2017 PFFELO NFL Power Rankings - Week 16
BY PFF ANALYSIS TEAM
Below is the 16th installment of our weekly PFFELO rankings. Like all ELO systems, PFFELO is an iterative system that updates each team’s rating after each game based on two things: how well they played against their opponent and how well they were expected to play against their opponent.
The PFFELO rating system measures the former using our unique offensive, defensive and special teams grades, while the latter is determined by the PFFELO ratings leading up to the game and where the game is played.
For example, a heavy favorite playing at home is expected to outplay the visitor, so a victory would result in only a small rise in their PFFELO rating and a similarly-small decrease in the defeated team’s, but if an upset were to happen, the visiting team would see their PFFELO rating rise substantially, and the home team’s see a similarly-sized drop.
Sometimes in football the best team does not win, and PFFELO accounts for these oddities by using our grades. Hence there will be teams rated higher or lower in this system than their win-loss record would suggest.
#7 (LAST WEEK: 8)
Wow. I was admittedly skeptical of the Rams’ ability to go into Seattle and claim the NFC West as theirs last week. It didn’t take much more than half a quarter to dispel that skepticism. While Jared Goff has gotten a lot of the press for his elevated play this season, the play of the Rams’ offensive line has to be one of the better stories in the league so far.
Case in point, of Todd Gurley’s 152 rushing yards against Seattle, 67 (3.19 per carry) was before contact, and 121 of the Ram’s 244 total yards on the ground came before a defender was able to lay a hand on a Los Angeles ball carrier.
After finishing 24th in pass blocking efficiency a season ago, they are 15th this season, with Goff posting a 108.8 rating when blessed with a clean pocket. They will be an interesting team to monitor come playoff time.
