Week 6 Win Plus Promising Future

After battling with the best teams, the Rams have the most demanding schedule, no doubt, but week 6 was a breath of fresh air for the Rams and their fans. The Rams lost two challenging games against the San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys in the last two weeks, but a win against the Carolina Panthers boosted team morale.

Unfortunately, Ramsey didn't play that well for the next two games against the 49ers and the Cowboys. During week four for the Rams they played the 49ers. With an injured team consisting of key offensive linemen and defensive players, it wasn't a surprise we lost. The rams were missing two   cornerbacks, two linebackers, a center, and a guard .   In an embarras...
