That means only three teams on the 16-game schedule, at least at this juncture, have winning records. The way the schedule breaks suggests the pass-happy Rams could keep their inflated numbers aloft. Six of the remaining games are indoors, five at the Trans World Dome and one in the Louisiana Superdome. The latest outdoor game with the potential for wind-chilled weather is Nov. 12 at Giants Stadium. The two outdoor games in December are in Charlotte and Tampa.
Most teams talk about ball control and maintaining the all-important running game.
The Rams could care less. Pity Ambrose and the Falcons who face the Rams for the second time in 22 days. Defensively, we basically tried to eliminate them from making the big play. You try to force them to dump it off and make them take their time. Their first priority is to go deep, so you have to discourage that.
