Los Angeles brings a two-game winning streak and a top-10 power ranking into a matchup with a Washington team that has protected the ball better.
Sunday’s 1 p.m. ET kickoff at Northwest Stadium puts the 4-4 Rams, No. 9 in the power index, against the 2-4-1 Commanders, ranked No. 22. Los Angeles has won its last two, while Washington is 2-2-1 over its last five and owns a +7 turnover differential against the Rams’ -4. The central matchup is Washington’s defense against Kyren Williams, who has 548 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns, while Jayden Daniels has 976 passing yards, six touchdown passes and no interceptions. If the Commanders can keep Daniels’ clean record intact and disrupt Los Angeles’ ground game, their turnover edge can swing a game in which the Rams have averaged 384.4 offensive yards per game to Washington’s 341.1.
