St. Louis Rams: Week 6 NFL Power Rankings (#19)

Last week: 22 (+3)

Record: 3-2

The Rams may have won the battle, but lost the war against Arizona last Thursday, losing Danny Amendola for an extended period of time. It’s no surprise that their offense went in the tank without him last week. It’s exactly what they did last season. Sam Bradford has no weapons to work with and injuries have plagued his offensive line once again. Bradford may be matured and improved, but overall, the offense looks eerily similar to the one that ranked dead last in the league with 12.1 points per game last year. They might be a little overrated after their breakout win over an overrated opponent. The good news, they are just one game out of the division for now and over .500 for the first time since 2006.
