Rams optimism centers on Stafford staying healthy, a tougher line, and a fresh receiving corps led by Davante Adams and a surging Puka Nacua. The defense gets a boost from a young, hungry unit anchored by Jared Verse, Poona Ford, Kobie Turner, Beaux Limmer, and Coleman Shelton up front. With a softer NFC West schedule and McVay’s playbook, a top seed and a deep playoff push feel within reach.
