Sunday was a big day for the Rams faithful. Not only did Los Angeles move one step closer to clinching its first playoff berth since 2004, but the Rams sealed their first winning season in 14 years.

By knocking off the Cardinals, the Rams nabbed their ninth win of the year, ensuring their fans that a .500 record will not be in the cards this season. That’s obviously exciting for those who have supported the Rams through thick and thin, but the players are thrilled too.

J.B. Long of ESPN Los Angeles pointed out that nearly 80 percent of the Rams roster had never experienced a winning record before Sunday – 42 of 53 players.

Knowing that staggering fact, it should come as no surprise that guys like Sammy Watkins, Rodger Saffold and Johnny Hekker were excited about moving to 9-3. At the same time, their work isn’t done yet.

They have their eyes squarely set on not only making the playoffs, but making a deep run and potentially going all the way to Minnesota for Super Bowl LII. If that doesn’t happen, it’s still a huge step in the right direction to simply win at least nine games for the first time in 14 years.
