Austin, Gurley lead Rams past Buccaneers, 31-23

Nick Foles has been ineffective and inconsistent for St. Louis, with just 7 touchdowns against 10 interceptions and a 69.0 quarterback rating. Here’s a look at predictions from our Rams writers. Instead, Tampa Bay can start preparing for next season – and getting some good feelings out of the team’s last two games.

Week 15 of the NFL regular season begins on Thursday with NFL Thursday Night Football when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers visit the St. Louis Rams.

“It was a great atmosphere”, quarterback Case Keenum said after the Rams beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31-23 on Thursday night. Asked if he can go back to his college days at MS and be a workhorse with Blount gone and likely headed for IR, Bolden – who has just 35 carries on the season – said, “If need be, I believe I’m ready”. New offensive coordinator Rob Boras said it wasn’t the plays, but rather the ensemble coming together. While the Bucs have been quite bad against the pass, they have been surprisingly efficient against the run, ranking as number eight defense in this department according to our metrics. “I think it was a great atmosphere for the nation to watch”.

The Edward Jones Dome has been about half-filled most of the season, and the finale wasn’t much better.

But those who showed up were into it.

They chanted “Keep the Rams!”. At halftime, Warner took off his sports jacket and tossed a pass to Bruce, who made the catch as he was running along the home team’s sideline and jogged into the end zone. St. Louis snapped its losing streak at five games last week by defeating Detroit 21-14 at home.

The Cardinals franchise played in St. Louis from 1960 through the 1987 season before relocating to Arizona.

“Yeah, after they’re over, you get some time off”, Koetter said. After suffering a torn ACL while playing for the University of Georgia last season, Gurley was forced to miss all of the preseason and his first two games of the regular season. He added to his total with a 21-yard TD on a jet sweep to give the Rams a 28-6.

Though Tampa Bay used a field goal to get on the board, the Rams came right back to score another touchdown with another quick drive.

Britt leads the Rams in receiving, but that isn’t saying much as he only has 480 yards on the year.

ABOUT THE BUCCANEERS (6-7): Doug Martin ranks second in the league with 1,214 rushing yards and third in the NFC with 1,413 yards from scrimmage. The Bucs, after a slow start, have picked up the pace of their play and are in the hunt for a wild card playoff spot in the overall lackluster NFC. The Buccaneers’ defense is also starting to play significantly better from what we saw in September. “On the road to becoming a championship team, you have to keep building, and again we are not there yet”. They must’ve been outside having a good time because they came in and it was great to see them.

In the process, the Rams finished with 319 total yards and scored four offensive touchdowns in a game for the first time this season. The 5-10 Aubrey spent training camp with the Titans and was waived in the final cuts of the preseason before being signed to the practice squad.
