The past decade has been rough for the Rams. They haven’t won more than eight games since 2003, and in the last 10 years, they’ve had a losing record each season. Expectations weren’t very high entering 2017, but with Sean McVay at the helm and Jared Goff under center, the Rams finally look like a contender.

After six weeks, they’re off to their best start in more than a decade. Sunday’s win over the Jaguars moved L.A.’s record to 4-2 on the year, vaulting the Rams into sole possession of first place in the NFC West. It’s the first time they’ve won four of their first six games since 2006, going a full 10 years without a winning record through six weeks.

Additionally, the Rams are 3-0 on the road, the first time since 2001 that they’ve gotten off to a perfect start away from home.

The @RamsNFL are… 4-2 for first time since 2006. 3-0 on the road for first time since 2001. In first place. FINAL: 27-17 #LAvsJAX — J.B. Long (@JB_Long) October 15, 2017

The Rams now travel to London, where they’ll take on the Cardinals. If they can win that game against a resurgent Arizona team, they’ll go into the bye week at 5-2 and maintain at least a tie for first place in the NFC West.

Needless to say, McVay has this team headed in the right direction.
