Chicago Bears at St. Louis Rams Game Overview
The St. Louis Rams are looking to this game for motivation and confidence for the rest of the season after an inconsistent run in their previous games. Spoiling things further is the lack of their first Quarterback Sam Bradford though his replacement Kellen Clemens has been on top of his game since assuming that magnanimous responsibility. He was especially instrumental in their important victory against the Indianapolis Colts.
The Chicago Bears enter this game as favorites to win after a fairly consistent run in their previous competitions during this season. Josh McCown looks to continue his impressive experience against the Rams since filling in the gap left by starting Quarterback Jay Cutler. The Bears Alshon Jeffery and Brandon Marshall have already hit above the 800-yard mark. Looking to close in on that impressive achievement is Running back Forte.
In spite of Jay Cutler’s absence, the hard-fighting Bears have squeezed in a number of crucial wins in the shaky NFL North (6-4), whereas the Rams are still struggling with a record 4-6. Going by the previous encounters and the current trends of the two teams’ runs in their previous contests throughout the season, it is apparent the Rams have to work extra hard for the came to go their way. However, a win may not be totally out of their reach, considering their continued development of the running game. Head Coach Jeff Fischer may have to be especially conscious about time, without necessarily concentrating on the passing tactic. Both teams are hungry for a win, and with Chicago Bears at St. Louis Rams, this game looks to be a nailing-biting encounter.
The St. Louis Rams may gain confidence from Chris Long’s recent signs of recapturing his form, going into this crucial match. And he might his confidence and morale to perform excellently may be bolstered by his family’s presence during the match. His father, a Hall of Fame inductee, will be present. The family will have a rather tricky choice of a favorite team to cheer as Chris will be up against his younger brother, rookie guard Kyle Long on the opponents’ side. The Bears may also have worries about Robert Quinn who is the league leader in sacks with 12 and has 5 forced fumbles.
This game is big test for the Rams as they seek to revive their fans’ confidence in the team. The Bears have to continue their good run if they have to retain, or improve, their position in the league standings, meaning they will face the Rams with the ferocity and aggression of total magnitude. It will be upon the Rams to contain the goal-hungry Bears if they have to extract a win out this seemingly sweaty affair.
