The Los Angeles Rams have inched forward, one step at a time, following the reset in the aftermath of the Super Bowl LVI win. After missing the postseason in 2022, it’s been frustrating baby steps. Sean McVay’s squad lost in the Wild Card Round in 2023, the Divisional Round in 2024 and the NFC Championship Game in 2025.
Can they take that next step and get to the Super Bowl in 2026? According to edge rusher Jared Verse, only the Rams are stopping it from happening.
“We keep beating ourselves,” he told DJ Siddiqi in a recent interview. “When you stop beating yourself up, you win, it’s easy to win. We have all the pieces we need. We got great DB’s, we got great linebackers, our defensive line is the best. We got amazing outside linebackers. If you ask me, we got the best outside linebackers. I’m a little cocky in that aspect, bro. We got amazing safeties, quarterback is the reigning MVP, amazing running back, O-line, wide receivers, kick returners, kickers, punters, snappers. I don’t care. We got the best of the best.
“The only thing that can stop us is ourselves. After the season, I told everybody once we got back, I said, ‘We gotta stop beating ourselves.’ During the first week back, everyone’s always ready and everything like that. This is the second week back, and I wanted everyone to tackle today, and it was harder than I expected the second week back, when we can really measure success and how hard you’re willing to go.”
