2016 NFL Power Rankings: Chasing The West Divisions

player. 51. Jeff Fisher has a difficult task ahead of him. Historically, teams that move from one city to a new one tend to not make the playoffs during the subsequent season. Then there is the fact he’s going to try accomplishing that feat with either a former backup as his starter at quarterback or a rookie. The Los Angeles Rams have a solid defense and a great running back but it’s been under center where they’ve continued lag behind the rest of the NFC West. <p>One of the lingering problems attributing to that is the wide receivers. Tavon Austin is fast, but that’s about all he is. Over and over again he’s shown too much inconsistency to be a reliable target.

One thing is for sure, the pressure to win for Fisher and his staff will go up big time under the hot glare of the L.A. lights.</p>. . . Los Angeles Rams . 27
