Rams 2023 schedule could make a bounce-back season difficult
The Los Angeles Rams won the Super Bowl two years ago, but they were just 5-12 in 2022. The Rams are now hoping to bounce back in a big way, but this team really didn’t add much in the offseason. In fact, Los Angeles lost quite a bit of talent after the season, with the team trading Jalen Ramsey to the Miami Dolphins. The Rams will be hoping that improved offensive line play and a full year of Matthew Stafford under center can be the cure for their problems. But that’s far from a guarantee and Los Angeles doesn’t have the easiest schedule in the world.

Los Angeles Rams schedule this year
The Rams have one of the toughest home schedules in football this year. Los Angeles will host San Francisco, Seattle, New Orleans, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Cleveland this season. All six of those teams are hoping to make the playoffs in 2023, and a meeting with Washington could also pose some problems. So, if the Rams are going to do anything significant this season, they’ll need to be very good on the road. However, they face San Francisco, Seattle, Dallas, New York (Giants), Green Bay, Baltimore and Cincinnati on the road this season. With that in mind, there’s a good chance the Rams are a much better football team than they were a year ago but still have nothing to show for it.
