The team finished second in the division only behind the team who came out of the NFC and made the Super Bowl, the San Francisco 49ers. And while the talent that the Niners have may be daunting, the Rams had a stellar second half to their season this past year, and that should give the team some confidence heading into next year.

After the Rams' bye week in Week 10, the team only had one loss, and that was a tough overtime loss to the winners of the AFC North and one of the favorites to make the Super Bowl at the time, the Baltimore Ravens.

With how many question marks there were heading into last season, the Rams making the playoffs and finishing with a 10-7 record was very impressive. But this year, the Rams know what they are capable of and the talent that they have on the roster.

With Puka Nacua breaking out last year, Matthew Stafford having a bounce-back season, and a number of guys on the defense stepping up, the Rams are confident with what they've got head into the 2024 NFL season.
