After their Week 1 win, the Los Angeles Rams climbed in just about every set of power rankings. This week, Sean McVay’s squad fell to the Washington Redskins, but they weren’t penalized for it in USA TODAY’s eyes.

In the third edition of its power rankings, the Rams stayed put despite dropping to 1-1 on the year. They currently sit at No. 19, the same spot they were in last week. Here’s what USA TODAY had to say about Los Angeles:

No disrespect to Jared Goff (maybe a little), but Johnny Hekker reminded us he’s best QB on team after 28-yard pass on fake punt set up game-tying TD.

The Rams began the year at No. 24, so while it would have been nice for them to remain undefeated and climb up the rankings, being in the top 20 at this point in the season isn’t bad – especially considering they’re above half of the NFC West with Arizona at 25 and the 49ers at 29.

As for the Seahawks, they check in at No. 9 in this week’s rankings, despite scoring just 21 points in their first two games. With their offense struggling mightily, and the Rams’ unit actually looking solid (66 points scored), this division could be there for the taking for Los Angeles.

How the Rams perform against the lowly 49ers on Thursday night will be telling, particularly when it comes to the run defense. Carlos Hyde is far more talented than any back the Redskins have, and Washington still rushed for 229 yards against the Rams on Sunday.
