The Los Angeles Rams came into 2022 as defending Super Bowl champions, but are looking horrible as defending champions.
While many thought the Rams could reach another Super Bowl, issues with players are hurting those chances.
With the Rams dropping to 3-7, they are in dangerous waters.
However, can they still make the playoffs?
Rams Lost Their Best Chance For A Playoff Run In New Orleans
Coming into week 11, the Rams had a slim chance to reach the playoffs.
However, a loss to the New Orleans Saints has ended their best chance at reaching the playoffs.
Rams VS Saints. Possibly a playoff elimination game.

With 13 other teams with better records than them, and only two with worse records, they are now in an impossible situation.
Running the table won’t be enough for the Rams, as they can only get 10 wins by accomplishing this feat.
With the teams ahead of them having room for error, this means the Rams need a flawless performance during each game.
However, some troubling news is also ending their playoff hopes.
Rams Lost Cooper Kupp For The Season To An Ankle Injury
If the Rams were to have any chance at a playoff run, they’d need Cooper Kupp.
However, Kupp has an ankle injury which he got surgery on.
With the surgery keeping him out for 6-8 weeks, there’s no way he returns this season.
While the Rams fought hard to win without him on Sunday, it’s still difficult for them to adjust without him on offense.
He’s become too much of a stable for the Rams offense, which now means they will miss the playoffs without him playing.
