While avoiding a third straight loss is a must, the St. Louis Rams desperately need to avoid a third consecutive loss to cling to postseason hopes that are waning.

But the current two-game losing streak that feels like a slight skid could take on the tenor of a head-on crash if the Bengals aren’t able to straighten things out against a struggling St. Louis Rams team that is trying to steer out of its own three-game fishtail.
Cincinnati were really impressive in their first six games before their bye week, and their rest period did not seem to slow them down as they defeated the Steelers and Cleveland Browns on their way back. We are always looking for more talent, passionate writers, and Bengals fans.
The New York Giants will play the Washington Redskins on Sunday as the two teams battle for supremacy in the NFC East. A win for Redskins would pull them level with the Giants at the top of the division, but a victory for the Giants would give them breathing room at the top. “Whenever I’d see other teams going to England, I wished we were one of those teams”.
“Foles has a lot more experience”, Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said. The Nick Foles/Case Keenum experience has not gone well – the Rams are dead last in the league in passing and they average just under 18 points per game as well, which is one of the worst marks in the league as well.
Keenum is in concussion protocol after banging his head on the turf in last week’s game.
Regardless of whom is taking the snaps, the center of the St. Louis offense is Todd Gurley, the rookie running back who is just as likely to bust a long run as he is to churn out a chain-moving, game-shortening drive. He was basically uncovered on a 10-yard touchdown pass.
All that matters is the road ahead.
As it stands, Keenum went limited Wednesday while four other starters didn’t go, including two from an offensive line that has already lost five players to injury. “We’re where we are”.
Despite his prowess and the success of the Bengals this season, Green hasn’t been particularly productive this season as he’d only found the end zone four times coming into this matchup with the Rams.
