As it was said above, the Rams are playing great at the moment. They routinely won against the Chicago Bears in Week 1, 34-14. In Week 2, the Indianapolis Colts proved to be a tougher challenge, but they still pulled out a three-point victory, 27-24. This week, they are playing the Buccaneers led by Tom Brady.
Tampa Bay is also 2-0, enjoying victories over the Dallas Cowboys and the Atlanta Falcons. They will be a difficult challenge for the Rams, who will be without the services of Henderson. He started both games for the Rams and played a role in both wins. It will be interesting to see how much his replacements can contribute.
