The Los Angeles Rams just wrapped up a 3-0 preseason, and get this: they did it without a single turnover or a single sack allowed. That’s not just good, that’s historically clean. According to NFL’s GSIS Statistics, no other team in the entire league can say they played without allowing a sack this preseason, and they’re one of only four teams without a turnover. If they keep this kind of play up, the rest of the league is gonna be sweating.
This Ain’t Your Average Exhibition Slate
Going 3-0 is cool, but the way the Rams did it against the Chiefs, Saints, and Chargers is what’s got everyone talking. Not one turnover, not one sack given up. That’s insane. It’s the kind of performance that makes you think they’re built from top to bottom with serious depth. Rookie Ty Simpson was a big part of that, putting on another strong show in the finale against the Chargers, even throwing a touchdown pass to Brennan Presley. Super Bowl champion Jon Gruden was so hyped, he jumped on X and just shouted, “TY SIMPSON!” This team isn’t just decent, they’re expected to be special.
New Faces, High Stakes
The Rams also made some moves that signal they mean business. They reacquired Tutu Atwell in a trade with the Miami Dolphins, a move that their star quarterback’s wife, Kelly Stafford, was stoked about. She hit up Instagram, captioning a post, “Ahhhh!!! My girls are gonna be so excited.” Head coach Sean McVay said Atwell brings that speed element and adds depth to the receiver room without bumping anyone else off the roster, possibly leading to a seven-wideout setup. Plus, you don’t trade for a guy like Myles Garrett without expecting some serious results. There’s also some chatter about a Stetson Bennett trade hypothesis gaining traction, showing the front office is still tinkering.
So, the Rams passed every eye test you can think of in the preseason. Now comes the real deal. The expectation is clear: they have to build off this strong start. With all that depth and talent, the pressure is on to prove they’re not just a preseason anomaly but a legitimate force.
