That was a good drubbing they put on the Cards.
Yep. Rams are a talented team who's had bad stretches, like most teams. For example, last year's Super Bowl winner went 1-3 in the four weeks leading up to their bye. They got hot and healthy in the playoffs. In fact, they had ZERO injured starters in the Super Bowl. Not sure if anyone keeps track of that sort of thing, but I'm sure it's rare.
The narrative is that Tampa was awesome and Brady was awesome, which wasn't false, but they were also 100% healthy, while KC had several starters out.
This is why you want the Vikings to make the playoffs. Draft picks and rebuilds don't guarantee a damn thing. Hell, Detroit has been rebuilding every 5 years for the last 50.
