The Los Angeles Rams, after a significant turnaround from a 5-12 record last season, have made a surprising advance towards the NFL playoffs. Their win against the New York Giants was a crucial step, with key plays from rookie Puka Nacua and Kyren Williams. Despite a late surge from the Giants, the Rams held on for a 26-25 victory. If the Seattle Seahawks lose to the Arizona Cardinals, the Rams will secure a playoff spot. Quarterback Matthew Stafford, pivotal to the Rams' success, has led the team to wins in five of their last six games, transforming the Rams from a 3-6 team to an 8-7 one.
