I hate to say I told you so, Steven Jackson, but I did . á While not as directly, so did your teammate Richie Incognito . As Incognito said during training camp, the Rams go as Jackson goes. á It was pretty appropriate then when JacksonÆs first touchdown of the 2009 season turned out to be the game winner in St. LouisÆ 17-10 win Sunday at Detroit. á Jackson entered the game as the NFLÆs third-leading rusher, ...

ST. LOUIS û The St. Louis Rams won 20 games between the 2003 and 2004 seasons, reaching the playoffs both years. Since then, the Rams have won 19 total games. Gone from the Super Bowl teams of 1999 and 2001 are Orlando Pace, Isaac Bruce, Marshall Faulk, Az-Zahir Hakim, Torry Holt, and Kurt Warner. Defensive end Leonard Little is the only player on the current roster to have played on the Super ...

You could see this one coming. The winless St. Louis Rams were no match for an unbeaten Indianapolis team that moved the ball seemingly at will. Peyton Manning fell short of a record sixth straight 300-yard passing game, but still threw for three scores as the Colts blew out the Rams 42-6 at the Edward Jones Dome. "Against a team that's led by Peyton Manning, the one thing you know you have to ...

After such a positive start for the St. Louis Rams Sunday at Jacksonville, their offensive inconsistency, and timid coaching late, led to another loss. Time to hand out the grades. á á OFFENSE: C Marc Bulger had a decent game, going 22-of-34 for 213 yards with a touchdown and interception. His TD toss to Donnie Avery in the first quarter was the first Rams score in the first quarter this season, but when Avery ...

I realize football is a tough sport. I played the game in high school. Like Vince Lombardi once said, ôFootball is not a contact sport, itÆs a collision sport.ö Injuries happen, and IÆm OK with that, as long as they happen within the rules. St. Louis Rams defensive tackle Gary Gibson broke bones in his foot and ankle in SundayÆs loss to Minnesota after being shoved by ...

The St. Louis Rams are 0-5, and averaging a meager seven points per game. But in the 38-10 loss to Minnesota on Sunday, the Rams offense finally gave fans a glimmer of hope. St. Louis gained 400 yards of total offense, besting the Vikings by 23 yards, and had the ball inside the red zone three times. The next step is actually getting the ball into the end zone. Every time the Rams ...

There is bad football, and then there is bad football. á Against the San Francisco 49ers Sunday, the St. Louis Rams were the epitome of offensive ineptitude. á The Rams were held to 177 yards with only 10 first downs in the 35-0 defeat. ItÆs the second time in four games the Rams have been shut out. á They're averaging an NFL-worst six points per game. á Besides a very good San Francisco defense, the Rams were also ...

Let's be honest. A victory by the St. Louis Rams in San Francisco Sunday would be nothing short of miraculous. The Rams are 0-3 and, even worse, have been bitten pretty hardáby the injury bug. In their 36-17 loss to the Green Bay Packers last week, the Rams lost leading receiver Laurent Robinson for the season with a high ankle sprain and broken fibula. Safety James Butler sprained his MCL and will miss ...

As I sat in the Edward Jones Dome Sunday afternoon and watched the Green Bay Packers beat the hapless St. Louis Rams, I couldn't stop a wandering eye from glancing up at the far side of the building. There on the ring of honor, beside Rams greats like Marshall Faulk and Merlin Olsen, and other St. Louis football icons like Dan Dierdorf, were digital displays providing scores and stats from around ...

Week one of the NFL season was pretty bad for the Chicago Bears and Pittsburgh Steelers. Pittsburgh won its opener against Tennessee, but defensive leader Troy Polamalu injured his knee, and is out for at least another two weeks. Polamalu will at least return to the field this season. The news was worse for the Bears. Not only did they lose a heartbreaker to Green Bay, but perennial Pro Bowler Brian Urlacher was ...
