NFL Power Rankings: Where Do All 32 Teams Sit Entering Week 13?
By Peter Panacy
Rookie quarterback Jared Goff’s career has finally gotten off to a start, and there are plenty of reasons to get excited about the No. 1 overall pick in last year’s NFL Draft.
He was 20-of-32 for 214 yards and three touchdowns against one interception. It was nice to see him get wide receivers Tavon Austin and Kenny Britt involved too, albeit against a bad New Orleans Saints defense.
The major problem for Los Angeles was the sheer inability to stop quarterback Drew Brees and his potent offense. Brees chalked up 310 yards and four touchdowns, while the Rams couldn’t stop running back Mark Ingram before he posted up 146 yards and a touchdown of his own in the lopsided 49-21 loss.
It’s OK, L.A. A lot of teams have suffered a similar fate at the hands of the Saints.
