What do the Los Angeles Rams need to make the playoffs?

The LA Rams need to win all of their remaining games this season and hope that the Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks taste defeat. The Rams are a perennial playoff team but this season has been an exercise in patience for their fans.

According to Sportskeeda's Playoff Predictor, they will only win two of their last five games and finish the season with an 8-9 record. That will put them second in the NFC West behind the Seahawks and will miss the postseason since they won't be one of the three wildcard teams. The Rams will get the consolation of a mid-tier first round pick in the 2025 draft.
