Rizzi can set himself apart from bottom tier candidates by beating Rams

You have to keep in mind the what Rizzi was left to work with, and that the Rams aren't all of that. I don't think beating a 5-6 team could be a signature win, but I don't think losing to a Rams +2.5 team on would be an indictment on Rizzi either.
But now, he’ll be getting wins against coaches like McVay.
That counts for something.
