Summary
Week 2 results eased some alarm around the Rams' opening loss to San Francisco, with Monday night's home game against the Giants now framed as the first real read on whether Week 1 was a fluke.
Denver's 20-13 rebound win over Jacksonville after a poor opener offered the Rams a model for recovery, while a stronger test looms in Week 3 against the Broncos on Sunday Night Football.
Matthew Stafford remains a central concern after one of his worst performances in Week 1, especially with Justin Herbert's 0-2 start for the Chargers showing how quickly high expectations can unravel.
The Rams' next measuring stretch—Broncos, Eagles and Bills—should define their ceiling, with Buffalo's explosive offense and shaky defense already emerging as a notable Week 5 matchup.
