Los Angeles Rams enter 2026 season with high championship expectations
Summary

The Los Angeles Rams enter the 2026 NFL season considered by many as a top Super Bowl contender. The team made significant offseason roster adjustments, most adding Trent McDuffie and Myles Garrett. Quarterback Matthew Stafford leads an offense supported by a receiving corps featuring Puka Nacua and a consistent offensive line that returns all five starters from the previous season. Head coach Sean McVay continues to oversee the unit, maintaining a flexible scheme that recently shifted to incorporate more tight end personnel. On the defensive side, the front line features Garrett alongside Aaron Donald, though Donald will miss the opening week of play. The organization faces pressure to secure another championship title during the final stages of Stafford's playing career.
