Todd Gurley is confident in his Rams squad, and he doesn't think anyone can take them down.

Todd Gurley said what we all have in mind, the Rams look unbeatable.

After Rams’ 38-31 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday Night Football, the L.A. running back Todd Gurley was asked if he thought these Rams with such talented offense can be beaten right now, the two-time Pro Bowler replied that no one in the league can defeat them. And as cocky as that may sound, he is right.

"Any team can be beat right now, but, nah, we can't be beat right now. No ifs, ands or buts about it."

With a 4-0 record, the Rams have proven to be the most dominant team of the league, displaying a phenomenal offensive game every week. On Thursday, the former St. Louis team had only two three-and-outs, which were their first three-and-outs since the beginning of the season. They have scored an average of 35 points per game, and to be fair, they could’ve continued scoring in the first two games against the Raiders and the Cardinals if they wanted to.

The scariest thing about this offense is that teams do not know how to defend it since they have so much talent in every position. Jared Goff, who has looked as an MVP-caliber quarterback this season, completed 26 of 33 passes for 465 yards on Thursday, becoming the first quarterback in the history of the NFL to throw more than 350 yards and 75 percent completion in three straight games. Moreover, according to ESPN Stats & Info, the first overall pick of 2016 is the 3rd QB with a perfect passer rating (158.3) on at least 30 passes in the Super Bowl era.

Probably the main reason why Goff looks so good is due to the amount of talent his receivers have. Cooper Kupp— who caught seven passes for 116 yards and a touchdown against the Vikings — along with Brandin Cooks and Robert Woods are the type of weapons that any quarterback would like to have. And when the L.A. offense is not throwing the ball, they are giving the ball to the unfiltered, and rushing-yards leader of the league (338) Todd Gurley.

All these players have been able to rack up these many yards because of the great job that their offensive line has exhibited, and Gurley knows it.

“They’re playing the best in the league right now and I don’t think it’s really close,” Goff said of his blockers in his postgame press conference. “The last three or four games — I don’t know what the numbers are — but I’ve hit the ground maybe three or four times. I mean, just hits, pressures, not even sacks.”

It may just be the beginning of the season, and the Rams still need to improve their defense, but certainly, this team looks like the greatest contender to reach Super Bowl LIII so far.
