You could make the case that no team will face a more difficult road trip than the Rams this season, having to go from Los Angeles to Jacksonville then all the way to London in a matter of two weeks. Living in three very different time zones in that span is incredibly difficult and will certainly put the Rams’ conditioning and health to the test.

They’re trying to ease the burden of the trip by staying in Jacksonville until Thursday, at which point they’ll hop on a plane and head to London. It’s an unconventional approach with most teams flying to England early in the week to get acclimated to the time change, but the Redskins used this method last season with Sean McVay there, and the coach believed it worked well.

Jared Goff, for one, has been enjoying his extended stay in Jacksonville and believes it’s a smart way to handle the road trip.

“It’s been nice. It’s been kind of like a mini training camp a little bit. You get to hang out with all the guys again,” Goff said. “To be around the coaches some more is always fun and meeting rooms are right near our rooms. It’s kind of like training camp again. It’s nice and it’s definitely better than flying back to California and then having to fly all the way back out to London.”

Goff doesn’t think it’ll hurt the Rams at all, since their routine will be a bit different this week. They’ve been preparing for Week 7 since Sunday’s game ended while staying in Jacksonville, which cuts a day of travel out of their schedule.

In fact, Goff believes it allows them to get in extra work if need be, given that they’re all staying together in the same area.

“I think everyone has their own routine they do at home, but I think for the most part most guys just kind of go home. That’s equivalent of just going back to your room,” Goff said. “It is nice having the meeting rooms so close and having all the facilities and film and all that so close, where we can actually maybe even get a little bit more work if we need to.”

The Rams are looking to move to 5-2 on the year Sunday before entering their bye week. If they can do so, they’ll bolster their lead on the Cardinals in the NFC West, and possibly on the Seahawks.
