“Promptly after the conclusion of yesterday’s game, we began a review to determine the facts of the injury to St. Louis quarterback Case Keenum and why he was not removed from the game for the necessary evaluation by a team physician or the unaffiliated neuro-trauma consultant as required by our concussion protocols”. Over the past four weeks, the Rams have scored a total of 51 points, an average of 12.8 per game. If he’s completely cleared, and if he feels good, he’ll start. Receiver Stedman Bailey was shot in Florida on Tuesday and remains hospitalized. He remains hospitalized following surgery. Fisher said he called a couple timeouts just to slow the game down for the rookie, who was excited to get his first National Football League game action.

“It’s always a tough day at the office when you lose, but we still gotta lot to fight for”, nickel back Lamarcus Joyner said. The Bengals needed Hill and he came up big for the team as he could get more carries as the week goes on.
