The turnaround of the Los Angeles Rams has been one of the biggest story lines this season, and there are many members of the team that have been credited with elevating them from perennial losers to potential NFC West champions: Sean McVay, Wade Phillips, Jared Goff, Todd Gurley, Aaron Donald and Johnny Hekker, to name a few.

In fact, with so many heroes to choose from this in 2017, Greg Zuerlein sometimes get overlooked in the broader conversation. The sixth year kicker is having a career year through the first half of the season, and it’s not just a personal best.

Prior to the Rams Week 10 game against the Houston Texans, Zuerlein had scored 99 points – which put him on pace to score 198 points this season. That would destroy LaDainian Tomlinson’s 186 from the running back’s insane 2006 season. And even if he slows down a bit, he’s almost guaranteed to have a top five season – and the best ever season by a kicker.

The Rams offense has been dominant all season, earning comparisons to the legendary Greatest Show on Turf teams led by Hall of Famers Kurt Warner and Marshall Faulk. If they continue to perform at that level, it will undoubtedly be due in no small part to Zuerlein – who is marching toward a permanent place in the annals of the NFL.
