NFC West safety rankings: Where do the Rams line up?
Safety is perhaps the last line of defense for any team. This unit needs to be good at coverage as well as tackling in the open field. Some are even good at sacking the quarterback. Like the rest of their secondary, the Los Angeles Rams aren't among the heaviest hitters in the safety department. Kamren Kinchens proved to be a great starter for L.A., but Kamren Curl leaves elements to be desired. This group pales in comparison to some of the more veteran-laden and explosive groups in the NFC West. Here are our rankings for the top safety units in the division. 4. San Francisco 49ers Mustapha and Brown are very young starters with a combined three years of experience between them. They were good enough to keep their roles in 2025, but still need developing. 3. Los Angeles Rams Kinchens was a stud for the Rams in 2024 with four interceptions. Curl is a solid secondary player, too, though he lacks the ball-hawking and tackling skills of a premier safety. 2. Seattle Seahawks Bryant and Love combined for six interceptions, 18 defended passes, three forced fumbles and almost 200 combined tackles. 1. Arizona Cardinals Baker is the star of this group with six consecutive Pro Bowls to his name and a career-best 164 combined tackles in 2024. Thompson is a quality starter as well.

Rams' Kamren Curl jokingly vows to forgo playing 'Madden' after trailer shows him missing Saquon Barkley
Los Angeles Rams defensive back Kamren Curl joked on Thursday he will forgo playing "Madden NFL 26" after he was shown in the trailer missing a tackle on Saquon Barkley. The Philadelphia Eagles running back was named the cover athlete for this year's EA Sports video game. The trailer showed the video game version of the NFL's reigning Offensive Player of the Year receiving the ball, juking around Curl and leaving the defender in the dust. Curl didn't appear to be too pleased. "Lmao I ain't playing madden this year," he wrote on X with a middle finger emoji, later adding, "Been playing all my life and this how my first time being on the trailer gone be." Barkley is the cover athlete for the first time in his NFL career – and he certainly earned it with the season he had in 2024. The Eagles star ran for 2,005 yards and scored 13 touchdowns on the ground. He also had 33 catches for 278 yards and two touchdowns. He helped the Eagles to a Super Bowl title as well. The photo used on the cover is from his incredible reverse hurdle over a Jacksonville Jaguars defender during the season. Former Eagles star quarterback Donovan McNabb told Fox News Digital that the New York Giants losing Barkley was one of the worst mistakes an NFL team had made in recent history. "They made a real big mistake, and I think it's going to cost them a little bit," McNabb said last week.
