LA Rams had a chance to clinch a playoff spot on Sunday night, but then lost 20-9 to the Seattle Seahawks, putting them in a tough position for the final game of the season. Not only do the Rams now need to win against Arizona Cardinals to get to the postseason, but they might also have to do it without their starting quarterback Jared Goff.

Goff broke his thumb late in the third quarter of the Seattle game, hitting the helmet of the Seahawks’ Benson Mayowa during a pass. The 26-year-old quarterback managed to finish the game, but his status for Week 18 remains questionable.

Speaking with reporters after the game, Goff said that he is “uncertain” whether he will take the field against the Cardinals. Rams head coach Sean McVay also didn’t want to get into specifics.

“I’m not sure right now. I don’t want to speculate on that,” said McVay.

Goff will reportedly need surgery to fix the issue but is determined to postpone it until the offseason and wants to play through the injury.

If Jared Goff can’t make it to the field, the Rams will be forced to turn to backup John Wolford. Walford, who was undrafted in 2018, hasn’t played a single snap in a regular-season NFL game throughout his career.

Rams are second in the NFC West with a 9-6 record. In case they don’t beat the Cardinals on Sunday, they can still make the playoffs but will also need the Green Bay Packers to beat the Chicago Bears.

The LA Rams are quietly putting together a formidable season in 2020 and are getting their name back in the Super Bowl conversation. The confirmation of this came Monday night when the team went to Tampa Bay and beat the Buccaneers 27-24.

Entering the game as big underdogs, the Rams managed to impose their will on the Bucs early on. Jared Goff connected with Robert Woods for a touchdown in the Rams’ opening drive of the game, while the defense didn’t allow any points to Tampa in the first quarter.

Bucs bounced back in the second quarter with two straight touchdowns, forcing the Rams to play catch-up before halftime. Still, Goff and his offense kept their composure and managed to put 10 points on the board before the clock run out to keep their team ahead.

Things didn’t star very well for the Rams in the second half, as they had an interception and missed field goal in consecutive drives. Luckily for them, Bucs didn’t manage to capitalize on these mistakes and even returned the favor later on.

The fourth quarter saw the Rams’ offense struggling to put points on the board, as they managed only a field goal throughout the entire period. But the defense did their part, limiting Tampa Bay to just seven points and securing a 27-24 win for their side.

This win got the Rams to a 7-3 record and on top of the highly competitive NFC West. Buccaneers, on the other hand, are now 7-4 and sit one game behind New Orleans Saints in NFC South.

The Los Angeles Rams agreed to a 4-year extension with quarterback Jared Goff, reportedly worth $134 million. Goff still has 2 years left on his 5-year rookie contract, so with the additional 4 years signed on Tuesday night, he is guaranteed to be a Ram through 2024 at least.

Goff is expected to earn $4.3 million this season, so the next 5 years are a significant increase for the centerpiece of the Rams offense. The $110 million in guaranteed money tops the deal Carson Wentz signed in June and is an NFL record.

This is a fitting move for the Rams who had the 15th pick before the 2016 NFL draft but made a big trade upgrade to first overall in order to get Goff. After an up and down rookie season, Goff has been outstanding in the past 2 seasons, leading his team to the NFC Championship game and an appearance in the Super Bowl respectively.

He is 24-14 as a starter with 65 touchdowns and 26 interceptions to go along with his two Pro Bowl selections.
