Bold moves have become trademark of Los Angeles Rams' front office
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Rams' window to win a Lombardi Trophy opened in 2018 and they capitalized with a trip to Super Bowl LIII.
Considering they went all-in to build a star-studded roster for that effort, some may have thought their Super Bowl window would be short. However, coming off a 10-6 season and looking ahead to 2021, the Rams continue to be in prime position for a division title and playoff, if not Super Bowl, run.
Preparing for their sixth season in L.A., and what they hope will be their first in front of fans at SoFi Stadium, the Rams front office and general manager Les Snead are proving the flashy, daring moves they made over the last five years are hallmarks of their decision making.

Rams lose opportunity to play for NFC West title with loss to Seahawks
The Seahawks improved to 11-4 and clinched the NFC West. If the Rams had won, they would have been able to clinch their third division title in four seasons next week.
After an embarrassing 23-20 loss to the New York Jets in Week 15, the Rams have now lost two straight for the first time this season. Their ability to earn a playoff berth will come down to Week 17, when they host the Arizona Cardinals (8-7) at SoFi Stadium.
The Rams must defeat the Cardinals to clinch a playoff spot or else depend on the Green Bay Packers to defeat the Chicago Bears.

Jared Goff's security blanket: Rams receiver Cooper Kupp
Goff has suggested the two are intuitively connected. He has also pondered if they're telepathic.
On Sunday night, as the Rams outlasted the Cleveland Browns at FirstEnergy Stadium, it appeared both could be true.
Kupp caught a career-high 11 passes for 102 yards and two touchdowns in the 20-13 victory to become the first Rams receiver to accomplish such a feat since Torry Holt in Week 6 of the 2003 season.
