Are the Rams becoming one of the NFC's most dangerous teams?

After a 3-6 start, the Los Angeles Rams have won four of their last five games and are back in the playoff hunt.

ESPN NFL insider Dan Graziano believes Los Angeles might be a tough out if it makes the playoffs.

"You could make the case that no one in the NFC outside of San Francisco has been playing better over the past five weeks," wrote Graziano. "I don't know who's going to be excited about drawing this team in the first round. I'd definitely rather play the Vikings, Buccaneers or Saints if we're talking about 7-7 teams."

The Rams' dynamic offense is a reason they've turned it around. Over the past five games, it's generated 149 points, the fourth most in the league. 

And quarterback Matthew Stafford has recaptured his elite form. During this stretch, he has completed 64% of his passes for 1,250 yards, 13 TDs, two interceptions and an above-average 105.2 passer rating.
