is over and there are 12 teams remaining in the run to the Super Bowl. And at the top of the AP Pro32 poll http://www.theramslockerroom.com/authentic-samson-ebukam-jersey , the new year starts right where the previous one ended.The New Orleans Saints, Los Angeles Rams and Chicago Bears, the top three seeds in the NFC, retained their top three spots in the final AP Pro32 poll of the season.New Orleans received 11 of the 12 first-place votes for 382 points in balloting Wednesday by media members who regularly cover the NFL. New Orleans will open the playoffs at home in the divisional round on Sunday, Jan 13.“The Saints lost in Week 1 and Week 17, both at home,” said Ira Kaufman of Fox 13 in Tampa, Florida. “In between, Drew Brees and company established themselves as the team to beat in the Super Bowl chase.”The Rams, who also finished 13-3 in the regular season Womens C.J. Anderson Jersey , will start their postseason at the Coliseum on Saturday, Jan. 12. The Bears will close wild-card weekend when they host the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles on Sunday.The next six spots in the poll are all taken by the AFC’s playoffs teams.The Chiefs, who have the AFC’s top seed, are No. 4. Kansas City, which received the remaining first-place vote — from John Czarnecki of Fox Sports — has won the AFC West for three consecutive seasons. Patrick Mahomes, who finished with 5,097 yards and 50 TD passes, will try to get Kansas City its first home playoff win since the 1993 season.“MVP front-runner Patrick Mahomes finished a brilliant first season as a starter with 50 touchdown passes,” said Newsday’s Bob Glauber. “With home-field advantage in the AFC playoffs, is a Super Bowl berth next?”The Los Angeles Chargers and New England Patriots finished in a tie at No. 5 in the poll.The Patriots Dominique Easley Jersey , who won the AFC East for the 10th straight season and 15th time in the past 16 seasons, are the No. 2 seed in the AFC. They are trying to reach their ninth Super Bowl in the Bill Belichick-Tom Brady era. They are also trying to become the first team since the 1990s Buffalo Bills to return to the Super Bowl after losing it the previous season, and the first since the 1992 Bills to make a third successive trip to the big game.The Chargers, despite finishing with the same record as the Chiefs at 12-4, lost the tiebreaker and are the No. 5 seed in the AFC. They will head to Baltimore to face the AFC North champion Ravens on Sunday. The Ravens are No. 9 in the poll.AFC South rivals Houston and Indianapolis are Nos. 7 and 8 in the poll. Those teams will open the postseason in Houston on Saturday when they meet for the third time after splitting their previous meetings.“Just wish they had another WR,” Czarnecki said of the Texans. Houston’s DeAndre Hopkins finished second in the NFL with 1,572 yards, but the depth took a hit when Demaryius Thomas was lost for the season with an Achilles tendon injury.Seattle and Dallas, who meet Saturday night in Texas, are 10th and 11th in the poll. The Seahawks and Cowboys both finished 10-6. They met in Seattle in Week 3 http://www.theramslockerroom.com/authentic-ndamukong-suh-jersey , when the Seahawks won 24-13.The team that made the biggest climb from the first poll, which was released before the season started, was the Bears, who started out at No. 28 and finished at No. 3. And the team that had the biggest drop was the Jacksonville Jaguars, who began at No. 7 and ended up at No. 28.The Arizona Cardinals, who finished with the worst record in the NFL at 3-13 and have the No. 1 pick in April’s draft, were a unanimous choice for last place in the poll. With no easy layups to start the season, the LA Rams will have no choice but to prove that they can beat tough teams on the road and settle an ugly beef with the Saints."WhiteSections 2019 offseason2019 free agency2019 NFL DraftFull ArchiveLibrary 2019 NFL calendar2019 Rams regular season sched2019 Rams preseason schedMasthead Community Guidelines NFL Odds StubHub 鉁?019 Los Angeles Rams Regular SeasonLos Angeles Rams’ mettle to be tested at beginning of the 2019 regular seasonNew,3commentsWith no easy layups to start the season, the LA Rams will have no choice but to prove that they can beat tough teams on the road and settle an ugly beef with the Saints.CDTShareTweetShareShareLos Angeles Rams’ mettle to be tested at beginning of the 2019 regular seasonJayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY SportsLast year John Franklin-Myers Jersey , I wrote that the Los Angeles Rams had a distinct advantage heading into the 2018 season facing off with two home games with the Arizona Cardinals and the Los Angeles Chargers. Both of those games ultimately turned into victories for the Rams, setting the stage for a trip to the Super Bowl.The first three games of the 2019 regular season has a completely different vibe, one that is much more challenging and poses a threat to the Rams getting off to a great start. An away game in Charlotte vs. the Carolina Panthers isn’t the worst-case scenario for a week 1 game, but it’s not a gimme like a home matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Even though the Panthers went 7-9 last year, they’re an unpredictable team with lots of weapons. It’s a perception thing with this matchup because the Rams will probably be favorited on the road. With all of the trap games the Rams had last year, this is more like a worthy challenge for a team that should be building up their identity again as a Super Bowl caliber team.Week 2 on the other hand, is going to be a beast of a game with hype and emotion at peak levels. The New Orleans Saints, still salty about their loss in the NFL Championship game, are primed to play with gigantic chips on their shoulders. And in case someone tries to argue that the non-call pass interference will be forgotten by week 2...And after their home game vs. the Saints, the Rams will then travel to Cleveland for a Sunday Night Football game against the newest shiny toy in the league http://www.theramslockerroom.com/authentic-marcus-peters-jersey , the Cleveland Browns. This game has the potential of a thrilling shootout, similar to the instant classic Monday Night Football game last year between the Rams and the Kansas City Chiefs. For a Rams team that will likely not be playing their starters in the preseason, they will be receiving some shots to the chin early on. There are going to be many NFL “experts” questioning if the Rams took a step back in the offseason. Beating the Panthers, Saints, and Browns to start the season will be an emphatic answer.
