What did Rams learn from first game vs. Panthers? Matthew Stafford explains
The Rams were stunned by the Panthers in Week 13, but there are things they can learn from that loss, Matthew Stafford says.
The Rams' 2026 regular season opponents have been finalized. Besides the usual slate of NFC West opponents in the San Francisco 49ers, Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals, the Rams will also be hosting the Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Green Bay Packers, Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Chargers and Buffalo Bills at SoFi Stadium.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers no longer control their playoff destiny after the Falcons’ win over the Rams reshaped the NFC South race.
The Los Angeles Rams entered Week 18 with a simple mission: win and lock up the NFC’s No. 5 seed in the NFL playoffs, get the more favorable wild-card matchup, and drop the division rival San Francisco 49ers to the No. 6 seed.
