St. Louis Rams: Week 7 NFL Power Rankings (#18)

Last week: 18 (+1)

Record: 3-3

I’m moving the Rams up despite their loss because I think I underrated them last week. I thought Sam Bradford would struggle without several starting offensive linemen and without Danny Amendola like he did last year. It sure looked like he would after he finished 2 of 9 against Arizona after the Amendola injury. However, Bradford seems much more mature and much better coached this season and has just moved right alone to the next man up in the receiving corps, which appears to be Brandon Gibson, who caught 7 passes for 91 yards. He completed 26 of 39 for 315 yards and rushed for another 34 yards and a touchdown on 4 carries against a tough defense. The Rams have to be happy with the progress of their 3rd year quarterback.
