After a week 1 battle with the tough Vikings, Rams knew week 2 wouldn't be any easier against the high powered offense of the Bucs. Coming into week two the Bucs were number one in the league in offense and number two in defense. Rams knew they would have to try and slow down the big wideouts of Tampa. Most of the night they used a safety over top helping out the CB, but when they didn't they paid the price, as Vincent Jackson pulled in 3 catches for 134 yards and 1 TD. Rams defense forced the Bucs offense in to some key turnovers at key moments of the game leading the way for that Rams defense was the future HOF Ed Reed who filled the stat line with 7 Tak 2 TFL 1 Sck 1 INT 2 FF and 1 TD I'd say the man did it all for the Rams. The offense was carried by that man Zac Stacy who racked up 116 yrds on 27 carriers, but at the end of the game it came down to a foot and luckily for the Rams it was Zuerlein's foot who hit the game winner as time expired. Zuerlein was 3 for 3 with a long of 56. Rams team has been clicking on all cylinders and are hoping they can stay hot. They'll be taking on Dez and the Boys in week 3. 

Going in to week 1 coach Fisher expected his defense to carry this team, little did he know his RB Zac Stacy had plans of a monster day on the ground. Rams offensive line gave Stacy day light pretty much all game against the tough run defense of the Vikings. Stacy rumbled for 150 yards on 26 attempts and found the endzone 2 times on the afternoon. Vikings rookie Teddy Bridgewater had a good coming out party completing 7 passes including 4 of those passes for Tds, tearing apart the Rams secondary. Rams will be taking on a tough Bucs team in week 2 Coach Fisher and Rams nation hope Stacy can somehow put together another big day.

Rams added many pieces through free agency two of those players being the two oldest on the defensive side of the ball. Ed Reed (35 yrs old) and Dunta Robinson (32 yrs old). These two players might be the key to how far this team and defense can go, being in the tough and physical NFC West the Rams will need to match that physical presence if they want to have any chance in surviving. Coach Fisher will be depending on these two vets to take the Rams to the top. Rams start on that Journey with a tough one against AP and the Vikes in week 1. We will have to see if the mixture of many young ones and couple old vets can take this team to the top.
