The NFL trade deadline passed with the Los Angeles Rams and Detroit Lions making minimal moves. The Rams did not address their need for receiver depth after injuries to Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. Instead, they added safety Andre Cisco from the Jets in a minor trade. Similarly, the Lions failed to bolster their defense despite needing help after Jack Campbell's injury. Other NFC contenders, like the Seahawks and 49ers, actively strengthened their rosters, raising concerns about the Rams' and Lions' playoff futures. Both teams enter an increasingly competitive postseason without significant upgrades.
