The Los Angeles Rams are still the only team to have beaten the Idianpolis Colts, and yes, that Colts could have beaten the Rams, but they didn’t, so it’s a postivie benchmark for the Rams.
Have the Colts
looked like the best team in the NFL? Through eight weeks, yes, how can you say the Colts haven’t put together the best season so far? It’s been a strange year with many ups and downs, but the most consitent performer has been the Colts, and they’ve been a joy to watch.
Credit the Rams for still being the only team in the NFL to have handed Indy a loss, but give Indy their flowers for having a very strong start to the 2025 season.
L.A. heads into Week 9 with a 5-2 record, and fresh off their bye week. We’ll see if the Rams can pick up where they left off after winning two in a row in Weeks 6 and 7 (six-seven).

NFL Week 8 takeaways: What We Learned from Sunday’s 11 games (nfl.com)
“Stroud dices up 49ers. That was more like it, Houston. C.J. Stroud turned back the clock to 2023, dicing up the Niners defense with an array of quick passes and savvy darts. For the first time all season, we got something closer to the offense we expected entering the campaign. Stroud was confident and decisive. He ate alive 49ers defensive backs with out-route after out-route. Even without Nico Collins, Texans receivers Xavier Hutchinson (five receptions for 69 yards and a touchdown), Jaylin Noel (6/53) and Jayden Higgins (4/34/1) continuously won off the line, giving Stroud easy targets. Getting the ball out quickly built Stroud’s confidence and helped avoid pressures that has killed Houston this season. That confidence built, Stroud stood tall when San Francisco did get pressure – 6 of 7 for 103 yards and a TD under pressure. With the play action alive, Woody Marks and the run game also got going, with the rookie back generating 111 scrimmage yards. Yes, it was against a banged-up Niners club, but if the offense plays like this, the Texans have a shot to dig themselves out of their early season hole.“

“Rapoport would go on the say that a trade is very possible according to his sources, and that there’s interest from both Cooks and the Saints to part ways.
“He is one of several Saints veterans being discussed as potential trade targets around the league, with fellow wide receivers Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed joining him in that conversation,” continued Rapoport. “Olave is unlikely to be traded, sources say, while it could be on the table for Shaheed.”
