"The Rams had some explosive plays in the passing game, as Jared Goff threw for 309 on just 30 attempts, and most of that happened in the rain. Whatever happened in last week's lackluster win over the Giants, the Rams seem to have shaken it off."

Note: The MMQB staff rotates who compiles the Power Rankings each week. This week, it was columnist Gary Gramling's turn.
"With the exception of the slow start in Buffalo, the Rams have done pretty much exactly what they want to do against every opponent they've faced this season. And the fact that they clawed back against the Bills—it was fair to question whether or not Jared Goff could—was plenty encouraging. It seems like the coach has things figured out."

"They have dominated the NFC East to get to 4-1 to open the season. Sean McVay has this team playing well, and they are the class of the NFC West."
