Heading into their week 8 matchup with the Green Bay
Packers
http://www.theramslockerroom.com/authentic-todd-gurley-jersey ,
the Los Angeles Rams hadn’t faced much adversity in 2018. They had won the
majority of their games without much of a challenge, and a lot of people - fans
and media alike - were beginning to wonder how the Rams would react when faced
with some adversity.Sunday definitively answered those questions, with 4/5 of
Wags Rams to watch playing key roles in the victory.Todd GurleyWhile he got off
to a slow start, Gurley came on strong in the second half and ended up with a
monster day for the Rams. he fell just short of 200 total yards and matched the
Rams record for consecutive games with a TD at 11. Gurley also made a
spectacular catch in the 2nd half that kept the offensive momentum going for the
Rams.Trevon YoungI like Wags going out on a limb here, but Young didn’t see the
field this weekend. Matt Longacre did have a couple of QB hits though, so that’s
something right?Aaron DonaldDonald was up to his usual shenanigans, notching 2
sacks - making 6 in the last 8 quarters of play for the reigning defensive
player of the year.And for everyone who believes sacks are a measurement of how
good a pass rusher is..... Donald is on pace for 23 sacks.#HesMyMVPMark

Nickell Robey-Coleman Jersey , but made possibly the biggest play of the
game for the Rams. With his team off to a slow start and down 10-0, Barron
absolutely stuck Packers running back Aaron Jones for a safety.The energy jump
started the Rams offense as they immediately drove down the field and scored
their first points of the game. Brandin CooksSimilar to Gurley, Cooks got off to
a slow start as he and Rams QB Jared Goff couldn’t seem to get on the same page
in the first half.Halftime adjustment proved once again to be vital for the Rams
as the offense as a whole rebounded with a strong second half. Cooks was among
the beneficiaries of this as he racked up a hefty 25 yard average on 3 catches.
Suddenly, the Indianapolis Colts are creating a buzz around town.They ran the
ball effectively Sunday against one of the league's top defenses, stymied two of
the league's premier receivers in back-to-back weeks and ended Houston's
nine-game win streak and Dallas' five-game win streak.Earning victories in their
last two games could send the Colts back to the playoffs for the first time in
four years and they could be a difficult matchup in the postseason, if they make
it."I can absolutely feel a significant difference in the last few weeks
compared to the beginning of the year," coach Frank Reich said when asked about
the atmosphere around town."Not that I get out very much because I
don't

Noteboom Jersey , but the little bit I do, the Starbucks in the morning or
wherever it may be on a Friday night for dinner with my wife. You can feel the
excitement by the fans and it's exciting for all of us here in the building.
It's fun to see."It's been a long time coming for a team that seemed like an
annual postseason lock for a 15-year span starting in 1999.When the Colts went
8-8 and missed the playoffs in 2015, fans largely considered it an aberration
because Andrew Luck missed nine games with injuries.Luck returned in 2016, but
when the Colts again finished 8-8 and missed out, the debate changed. Many
wondered if the team needed a fresh start and team owner Jim Irsay responded by
firing general manager Ryan Grigson.Then with Luck missing all of last season to
recuperate from surgery on his throwing shoulder, the Colts staggered to a 4-12
mark, missed the playoffs for the third straight year and coach Chuck Pagano was
fired.Many outsiders figured the Colts needed a major
overhaul

a perception that was reinforced by Josh McDaniels' decision to back out of a
deal to become Indy's new head coach shortly after New England's Super Bowl
loss, Luck's lingering rehab and Indy's 1-5 start this season.But general
manager Chris Ballard and Reich, Indy's second choice as coach, have put
together a winning combination by staying the course.The balanced offense
Grigson and Pagano craved for so long finally materialized after Indy (8-6)
found two key solutions to its offensive line woes in the draft 鈥?left guard
Quenton Nelson and right tackle Braden Smith. Luck benefited by turning in the
best season of his career and the Colts have overcome injuries to win seven of
their past eight."A good leader will get guys to do what he wants them to do and
believe in themselves whether you're 1-5 or 7-1 through the last eight games,"
offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni said Tuesday."It's obviously his leadership
abilities and then Frank being an example of what we want players to be. What I
mean by that, is that we want players to be the same guy every single day. ...
Frank definitely does that because he is the same guy every day."The defense
might be the biggest surprise.After years of languishing near the bottom of the
league rankings, first-year coordinator Matt Eberflus has worked
wonders.Originally hired by McDaniels and inherited by

Greg Zuerlein Jersey , with a strong recommendation from Ballard, the
Colts made Pro Bowl receivers Amari Cooper and DeAndre Hopkins look ordinary the
past two weeks while holding NFL rushing leader Ezekiel Elliott to 87 yards
rushing and pitching their first shutout in more than four years on
Sunday.They've consistently put pressure on quarterbacks, forced turnovers and
against the Cowboys delivered big play after big play with a simple philosophy
鈥?run to the ball."Hustle is a learned skill," Eberflus said. "It is the coach's
job to stay on it with the player to give him the feedback on every single play.
That starts way back in OTAs (offseason team activities, all the way through
minicamp and then through training camp every single play."Now comes the hard
part 鈥?finishing strong.A victory over the struggling Giants, coupled with a
loss by either Pittsburgh or Baltimore this weekend, would give the Colts
control of their destiny in the season finale at Tennessee

get everybody outside the locker room talking about potential playoff matchups
for the first time in four years."We're playing great football," receiver T.Y.
Hilton said after Indy's most recent victory. "Right now, you're either the
train or you're on the tracks. Right now, we're rolling, so you better get on
the train."Notes: Indy put starting defensive tackle Al Woods (foot) and backup
linebacker Skai Moore on injured reserve Tuesday. Safety J.J. Wilcox was signed
to the active roster, taking the spot of Woods. Former Indiana University star
linebacker Tegray Scales was added to the practice squad.
