The Los Angeles Rams pushed the team’s winning streak to three games with a huge win over the crosstown Los Angeles Chargers.
The Los Angeles Rams have officially started the 2018-2019 NFL season 3-0 after passing the team’s first true test of the season in the Los Angeles Chargers.
The first two weeks of the season for the Rams was a bit of a breeze as LA took on the Oakland Raiders and Arizona Cardinals; two winless teams that are primed to be two of the worst teams in the NFL this season.
In Week 3, the Rams took on the explosive Los Angeles Chargers, who despite being 1-1, have as good of a chance as anyone to make a late push into the Super Bowl to represent the AFC (although the Kansas City Chiefs beg to differ).
The Rams passed that first test with a 35-23 victory over the Chargers to join the Chiefs, Miami Dolphins and potentially the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as the only undefeated teams after three games. Tampa Bay plays Monday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Not everything was sunshine and rainbows for the Rams’ win on Sunday as there were some negatives that we can take away.
However, most of the resulting feelings about the Rams after this game are positive. With that said, let’s dive right into the Rams’ takeaways from Week 3.
