The Los Angeles Rams have been the feel-good story of the NFL as the team finished with an 11-5 record and the NFC West title. Sean McVay has turned the franchise around as his offensive scheme has proven to be one of the most explosive and exciting ones to watch during the 2017 NFL campaign.
Under McVay and defensive coordinator Wade Phillips, several of Los Angeles’ players enjoyed career years. The team’s success did not go unnoticed because according to Rams, six players were selected to the AP All-Pro team:
#LARams lead the NFL with 6️⃣ AP All-Pro selections!

These are all well-deserved given how each player contributed to the team’s success throughout the year. Todd Gurley was recently awarded NFC Offensive Player of the Month for the second time this season, while Aaron Donald has made a case to win Defensive Player of the Year.
While all the recognition and accolades the Rams players are receiving from the media and the rest of the league are well-earned, the team has bigger goals in mind with the 2017 NFL playoffs soon beginning. Los Angeles will face off against a dangerous Atlanta Falcons team during Wild Card weekend in what is sure to be a high-scoring affair given the talent and coaching both teams possess.
