Ex-NFL player says Rams should 'fear nobody' after 9-2 start

The Los Angeles Rams are riding high after a huge Week 12 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

All three phases of the game performed well in the 34-7 win, and L.A. sits alone at the top of the NFC at 9-2. They're also one of three teams this season with only two losses. Though those losses have come against some of the better teams in the NFL, former offensive lineman Willie Colon doesn't think anyone can match the Rams at this point in the year.

"I don't know if there's a team in the NFC that can beat the Rams right now," he said Monday on Good Morning Football. "If you're the Rams right now, they fear nobody."

He has a point. The Rams' two losses were a seven-point defeat following a blocked field goal that would have won the game and a three-point overtime loss where the Rams failed to convert on fourth down in the red zone. L.A.'s plus-127 point differential now leads the NFL, and the defense allows the fewest points per game this year at just 16.3.

Meanwhile, 37-year-old Matthew Stafford is playing at an MVP level, 32-year-old Davante Adams leads the league in receiving touchdowns and the Rams defense has 31 sacks this season.

Everything is going right for L.A. The only team that came close to the Rams during their six-game winning streak is the Seattle Seahawks, who only scored one touchdown in L.A.'s 21-19 win.

The Rams have some hard matchups left on their schedule, particularly against the Seahawks in Seattle and the Detroit Lions, but until another team does anything to disprove Colon's notion, the Rams are the cream of the crop in the league at this point.
