'SUPER BOWL PUSH?' Rams in Upper Level of Latest NFL Power Rankings

Is a Super Bowl push realistic for the Los Angeles Rams? One set of NFL power rankings believes so.

The Los Angeles Rams remained one of the hottest teams in football on Thursday, taking down the New Orleans Saints 30-22 in Week 16 of the NFL season.

How did this affect the Rams' standing in another installment of NFL power rankings? According to USA Today, Los Angeles comes in at No. 8 in the league, directly behind the Miami Dolphins and ahead of the Cleveland Browns..

"Has any offense been better since Thanksgiving, LA averaging 32.4 points and 433.8 yards over its past five outings? If the Rams are indeed peaking at the right time, another Super Bowl push is hardly out of the question," USA Today wrote.

Did we read that correctly? "Super Bowl push?" After the Rams' 3-6 start to the season, that might seem absurd, but it's hard to argue against a team that has won five of its last six games and looked rather convincing on offense in the process.
