The Rams Will Still Make the Playoffs

I think they'll make the playoffs. I don't want to take that back. I don't think they'll be fine. I think they'll make the playoffs, and this might be the end of the line for Stafford.

The Rams' 2026 playoff outcome has not been established in the provided context and remains unresolved.
