NFL Power Rankings entering Week 7: Are the 2-4 Rams even a playoff team after a miserable start?

The NFL Week 7 power rankings take a hard look at the 2-4 Los Angeles Rams, arguing their season is getting perilously close to needing a wild-card escape rather than Super Bowl expectations. The article notes the team’s early résumé has not matched the hype: they beat the Giants after losing QB Jaxson Dart in the first quarter, then needed two late touchdowns to top the 2-4 Eagles. A loss at home to the 1-4 Cardinals—who scored zero touchdowns—triggered new alarms. Injuries worsened the picture: receiver Davante Adams ruptured a hamstring and will miss six to 10 weeks, along with defensive lineman Kobie Turner (groin) and kicker Blake Grupe (knee). Still, their remaining schedule is ranked seventh-easiest by Tankathon, but the Rams likely need about 10 wins, aiming for an 8-3 finish.
