McVay confirmed Tyler Higbee and Rob Havenstein will both be back in 2025

Even with the new league year a week away, feels like the first day of 2025. What a privilege to be following a franchise that’s chasing a championship once again. Can’t wait to see this edition of the Rams come together around a special nucleus of players and staff.

As much as any recent champion, feels like the 2024 Eagles won this Super Bowl between March and May? To the extent that's accurate, how can you not be excited about these next few months?

Let's goooooooooo! (Literally, pack your bags and join us.)

What is your most anticipated Rams game of 2025? The Liam Coen or Raheem Morris Bowl? How about the return trip to Philadelphia? Hosting the Lions? Or maybe a division rival? We discussed on the season finale of Between the Horns. youtu.be/FqIgbQvqorM?...

Tomorrow's stakes just multiplied. Now the winner of LA and PHI will *host* the NFC Championship versus the 6-seed WAS. Either the Rams, who were unable to play at SoFi in the Wild Card round. Or the Eagles, whose only loss since their Week 5 bye was against the Commanders.

Tough night for the "take the points" crowd.

A trust in his players and a willingness to listen to their feedback. The flexibility to adapt. An even-keeled presence throughout the highs and lows. A deep dive on how Chris Shula's trust and adaptability has empowered a young Rams defense: www.therams.com/news/chris-s...

Rams bid for history continues Sunday: Opportunity to be the first playoff team to defeat multiple opponents that won 14+ regular season games. (Eagles went 14-3, as did the Vikings.) h/t NFL Research

No firm details, but hints of optimism expressed from Sean McVay regarding tight end Tyler Higbee's availability for Sunday vs Eagles after suffering a chest injury last night.

Notable PFF grades from Rams Wild Card win: Higbee 92.7 (unfortunately limited to 12 snaps) Durant 86.7 Verse 84.6 Ahkello 81.3 (season-high) Stafford 78.2 Kinchens 77.9 BY 77.3 Hoecht 77.0 Gallimore 76.9 Kyren 73.7 Rob 73.4 Speights 73.0 LA coaches, leadership, staff, fans 💯

Sean McVay set to make more NFL history on Monday when he faces a *third* former assistant in a playoff game, at the end of only his eighth season. Excerpt from our Wild Card preview. (h/t NFL Research) www.therams.com/news/wild-ca...

It's where the franchise overcame incredible odds after a COVID outbreak in 2021 to win a MNF game on their way to a Super Bowl. What if the natural grass of Glendale proves to be the site of the Rams worst loss & most triumphant victory of this season? www.therams.com/news/wild-ca...

Offering you our latest Between the Horns with Camryn and D'Marco. Obviously, there's been a change of venue since this was recorded. But if you're able to get beyond that, hopefully you can still find some worthwhile Vikings-Rams Wild Card conversation. youtu.be/QZXBfBJfF9c?...

Thankful for football-friendly conditions this morning in Woodland Hills and a respite from far more serious matters. Praying comfort to all who are suffering loss. Gratitude to those who are stepping into harm’s way to combat these fires and their consequences.

Fractured forearm for Rams RB Blake Corum according to Sean McVay. He won't be available for the playoffs.

Rams heading back to Baltimore in 2025 for the 3rd time in 5 seasons. They'll face the AFC North champs (and perhaps a 3x MVP?). 9-game road schedule is complete: ARI, SEA, SF, CAR, ATL, PHI, JAX, TEN, BAL. 8-game home slate: ARI, SEA, SF, NO, TB, HOU, IND, MIN/DET winner.

“You just let him go to whatever that dark place is and you leave him alone.” For Rams star Puka Nacua, big games start by channeling big emotions - and then wrestling with them for 60 minutes. Inside a heartfelt process and its impact on a young coach: www.nytimes.com/athletic/603...

On the latest Between the Horns, our fondest 2024 memories and New Year's resolutions. Plus, who we're looking forward to seeing most on Sunday. Not to mention, some unexpected onion chopping from @stujrams.bsky.social that caught us right in the feels! youtu.be/-hkt6ktuwTY?...

What we learned from last night’s Coach McVay Show: 🏈 It’s Jimmy G time 🏈 Big Blake Corum game Sunday vs Seattle 🏈 Rob Havenstein will be ready for Wild Card 🏈 Expect John Johnson to be part of playoff roster youtu.be/-a0HycKDW7A?...

Season finale of the Coach McVay Show with details on how the Rams will treat Week 18, does the 3-seed matter, reflections on the clinching weekend, the plan for John Johnson, and addressing concerns about the offense since Buffalo win. Don’t miss it: youtu.be/-a0HycKDW7A?...

Among the special byproducts of the Rams clinching the NFC West is the extension of Demarcus Robinson's streak: He's made the playoffs in all 9 of his NFL seasons. And suffice it to say, LA couldn't have done it in 2023 or 2024 without him.

Instead of pulling for the 49ers in Week 17, Rams fans might get to root for Jimmy G in Week 18. What a time to be alive.

From 1-4 to 2024 NFC West Champions. Congratulations to all the men and women in the Los Angeles Rams organization -- especially the players and coaches -- who stayed in the fight long enough to turn it around and earn a home playoff game on Wild Card Weekend.

Updating the Week 17 NFC West clinching formula for the Rams… ✅Beat Arizona (13-9) Then count to 4* other winners from this list: 1️⃣Bengals 2️⃣Bills 🔘Browns 🔘Vikings 🔘Commanders (SNF) 🔘49ers (Mon) *if you’d like to root for a tie and count to 3.5, go for it

In Chris Shula's lifetime, the only Rams defensive coordinator to hold three straight opponents to single-digits is Chris Shula. (1975 team had a 4g streak and DC Ray Malavasi and company held opponents to an NFL-leading 9.6 ppg that year, for you history buffs.)

The Rams have allowed fewer than 10 points in 3 straight games (longest streak by Rams since doing so in 4 straight games in 1975). First time in team history the Rams have won 3 straight games when scoring fewer than 20 points in each.

Updating the Week 17 clinching formula for the Rams… ✅Beat Arizona Then count to 4 other winners: 1️⃣Bengals 🔘Bills 🔘Browns 🔘Vikings 🔘Commanders (SNF) 🔘49ers (Mon)

Puka Nacua has cracked the Rams all-time Top 20 for career receiving yards before the end of his 2nd professional season. With 88 receiving yards in the first half tonight, Nacua now has 2,435.
