ESPN -- Rank: 27
Regular season in five words or fewer: High expectations
Coming off a Super Bowl victory, the Rams were a favorite to win the NFC West and make it back to the playoffs. But due to injuries and inconsistent offensive play, the Rams quickly found themselves near the bottom of the standings. Los Angeles lost six games in a row in the middle of the season, and though they've had some more success down the stretch, this will end up being a forgettable season for the Rams.

The good vibes of a Christmas Day blowout of the Broncos didn't carry over to a lopsided loss to the playoff-bound Chargers on Sunday at SoFi Stadium, but the Rams have to be encouraged by the strong close from Cam Akers. The running back, whose time with the team seemed all but over in the weeks leading up to the trade deadline, rushed for 123 yards against the Bolts and has back-to-back 100-yard games heading into Sunday's finale against the Seahawks. The Rams -- who have now lost more games than any defending champion in the Super Bowl era -- will take any positives they can find.
CBS Sports -- Rank: 29
Their little push the last few games hit a big wall against the Chargers. This season was full of a lot of bad stuff.
USA Today -- Rank: 25
The worst reigning Super Bowl champs ever? Arguable given their crush of crippling injuries. But LA is the first to go from Lombardi lift to (at least) 11 losses the season after.
Yahoo! -- Rank: 27
The Rams will get up for Week 18, trying to play spoiler at the Seahawks. If they beat the Seahawks, Seattle is eliminated from the playoff race. I'm not sure the Rams can beat the Seahawks, but they'll try.
