Rams struggle as Texans rise in NFL Week 7 rankings

Pete Prisco's Week 7 NFL Power Rankings highlight the Los Angeles Rams as a team in disarray, while the Houston Texans have climbed eight spots. The Rams recently lost 16-18 to the Arizona Cardinals, marking their fourth defeat in six games this season.

The Rams sit 14th in the NFL standings with a 2-4 record and a negative three-point differential. Their recent form includes two wins and three losses in the last five games. Meanwhile, the Texans are 13th with the same 2-4 record but a positive one-point differential, having won their last two matches after a string of defeats.

Looking ahead, the Rams will face the Las Vegas Raiders on 25 October, aiming to improve their standing in the National Football Conference West division. The Texans continue their campaign with momentum from recent victories, seeking to climb further in the league table.

The NFL consists of 32 teams split evenly between the American Football Conference and the National Football Conference, with the Rams competing in the NFC West. Both teams are striving to reverse their fortunes as the season progresses.
