.The Rams (7-0) remain the league's only unbeaten team after a 39-10 rout of the San Francisco 49ers.They will look to stay unbeaten when they host Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.And the Rams are the unanimous top team in the latest AP Pro32 poll for the fifth consecutive week. They received all 12 first-place votes and 384 points in balloting Tuesday by media members who regularly cover the NFL."With (running back) Todd Gurley and (defensive lineman) Aaron Donald doing the dirty work Ndamukong Suh Jersey , the league's only unbeaten team is blessed with superstars on both sides of the ball," said Ira Kaufman of Fox 13 in Tampa, Florida.The New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs are tied for second with 365 points. The Patriots (5-2) have won four in a row and are back on top of the AFC East. They will close out Week 8 when they head to Buffalo to take on the Bills on "Monday Night Football." New England has won 31 of its past 35 meetings with the division rival.The Chiefs (6-1) have the AFC's best record and rebounded in a big way from their only loss with a 45-10 rout of Cincinnati."They call him 'Showtime,' and Patrick Mahomes continues to live up to the nickname with yet another spectacular showing in a four-touchdown performance against the Bengals," Newsday's Bob Glauber said. "There may not be a defense capable of stopping him."The Chiefs will face the Broncos on Sunday for the second time this month. In the first matchup, the Chiefs rallied in the fourth quarter with two late touchdowns for a 27-23 win. It's their closest margin of victory in a game this season.The New Orleans Saints and Minnesota Vikings are next at Nos. 4 and 5. The first-place NFC teams will meet on Sunday night in one of the top matchups of Week 8.The Los Angeles Chargers slipped a spot to No. 6 after holding on for a 20-19 win over the Titans in London when Tennessee coach Mike Vrabel went for a 2-point conversion instead of attempting a game-tying PAT.There was another tie in the top 10 as Pittsburgh and Carolina are both No. 7. The Steelers (3-2-1) lead the AFC North after their bye week and will face Cleveland on Sunday for the second time this season.Also Sunday Dante Fowler Jersey , the Panthers will host the Baltimore Ravens, who slipped three spots to No. 9 after losing 24-23 to the Saints when Justin Tucker missed a game-tying PAT in the final minute. Tucker had been 222 for 222 on PATs since turning pro in 2012."I feel like I cost us the game," he said Sunday night. "Every single one of my teammates thus far has told me the opposite, and no one play wins or loses a game. But that's a tough thing to grapple with when you're the guy in that situation at the end of the game."Washington (4-2) jumped six spots to round out the top 10. The Redskins were the beneficiary of a missed kick against Dallas. Matt Baher's 52-yard attempt hit the left upright as time expired in Washington's 20-17 win. As we head into the depths of the offseason, the conventional wisdom is firming up around the 2019 Rams."WhiteSections 2019 offseason2019 free agency2019 NFL DraftFull ArchiveLibrary 2019 NFL calendar2019 Rams regular season sched2019 Rams preseason schedMasthead Community Guidelines NFL Odds StubHub ✕2019 Los Angeles Rams Regular Season2019 Los Angeles Rams OffseasonLos Angeles Rams in top four of Football Morning in America power rankings, but contract extensions for QB Jared Goff C.J.

Into the depths of the offseason and the lull of activity that comes with it. The Los Angeles Rams are still in Phase II of the offseason program with Phase III set to begin on Monday which at least provides us the reprieve of organized team activities and the optional mandatory minicamp which ends a month from today. And thereafter...welp. We’ll get over the desert as we do every year.But in today’s Football Morning in America for Pro Football Talk, Peter King lays out the baseline for the conventional wisdom for the Rams headed toward 2019. While he’s bullish on the Rams just as fans are, he dropped some nuggest on contract extensions for Rams CB Marcus Peters and one for Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott that brought to mind the looming extension for QB Jared Goff that offers more importance to the Rams’ future given the scope of those decisions.King put up a set of power rankings that confirm his backing of the Rams:4.) Los Angeles RamsKing’s not off base in shrugging off the Gurley knee saga now that the Rams have Memphis Tigers RB Darrell Henderson in tow with the 70th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. How the Rams reduce Gurley’s output whether it’s significantly more work for Henderson than what was given to RB Malcolm Brown a la what we saw in the playoff with RB C.J. Anderson or using the passing game to limit Gurley’s rushing production a la what we saw in the second half of the regular season, I’m not sure. I’m also not worried, because, as King notes Austin Blythe Jersey , McBae will figure it out.No, the bigger issue lies in organizing the issues brought upon by the first wave of attrition from last year’s roster both on the offensive line (which King avoided for some reason) and the defense. And with the next wave coming next year possibly facing both starting cornerbacks, King’s right to point to that as a crucial flashpoint especially given the cost of the position.Both Talib and Peters are currently set to become free agents next offseason:2020 LA Rams Free AgentsPlayerPOSTypeOutcomePlayerPOSTypeOutcomeWhile adding Michigan Wolverines CB David Long at least offsets the potential loss at corner, the decision on whether or not to extend Peters is an incredibly important one given the position value. The Miami Dolphins just pushed the ceiling on the position by extending CB Xavien Howard with a five-year, $75.25m deal with $46m guaranteed, though the Dolphins have a quick out available after 2020 if they so choose. So it’s worth keeping the deals at corner in mind given that the Rams haven’t valued defensive backs as much as the market has with Rams Chief Operating Officer and Vice President Kevin Demoff and his Special Assistant Tony Pastoors overseeing contract negotiations. Rams Head Coach Sean McVay said in March that the Rams “absolutely” want to extend Peters Sean Mannion Jersey , but I wouldn’t put much weight into comments on contracts from the head coach.Beyond Peters though, the biggest potential extension looming is one for QB Jared Goff. McVay weighed in on a Goff deal as well back at the NFL annual league meeting in March and was much less direct than he was with Peters saying:While King didn’t touch on Goff today, he did mention Prescott in his section on 10 things he thinks he thinks:I don’t know why you couldn’t literally say those exact same words for Goff. So it’s probably wisest to start thinking of $30m as the operable floor for a Goff deal even though there’s a TON to wade through next offseason on the quarterback market while there wasn’t much this year.In any case, King’s the ultimate arbiter of conventional wisdom across the NFL and has been for more than a decade. So for him to have the Rams in the top five with some strong inferences on potential extensions for Goff and Peters and a dismissal of the impact of Gurley’s knee injury, we’ve got a good sense of the building narratives around the Rams in 2019.
