WHAT TO LOOK FOR THIS
WEEK
•
WR Isaac Bruce (83) needs one receiving touchdowns to tie Mark Clayton (84), Irving
Fryar (84), Tommy McDonald (84) and Andre Rison (84) for
13th place on the NFL’s all-time touchdown receptions list, while two
receiving touchdowns would tie Lance Alworth (85) and Paul Warfield (85) for 11th
place all-time.
• WR
Isaac Bruce (13,911) needs 34 receiving yards to pass Marvin Harrison (13,944)
for fourth place on
the NFL’s all-time receiving yards list and 94 yards to pass James Lofton (14,004)
for third place.
• QB Marc Bulger (101) needs two touchdown passes
to pass Kurt Warner (102) for fourth place on the Rams’ all-time career
touchdown completions list.
• K Jeff
Wilkins (302) needs two field goals to move past Pat Leahy (304), Jim
Turner (304) and Adam Vinatieri (304) for 15th place on the NFL’s all-time field
goal list.
• K Jeff Wilkins (364) extending his streak of
consecutive PAT, second longest streak in NFL history.
• WR Torry Holt (11,691) needs 17 yards to pass
wide receivers coach Henry Ellard (11,707) for second place on the Rams all-time
all-purpose yards list.
• WR
Torry Holt (944) needs 56 receiving yards to reach 1,000 yards on the season,
which would… • give Holt eight consecutive 1,000 yard seasons, joining Jerry
Rice (11), Tim Brown (9), Cris Carter (8) and Marvin Harrison (8) as the only
players in NFL history to do so. • make Holt just the ninth player in NFL
history with at least eight 1,000 yard receiving seasons. •
tie teammate Isaac Bruce for most 1,000-yard receiving seasons in franchise history with
eight.
• K Jeff Wilkins (300) needs two field goals to move past Pat Leahy
(304), Jim Turner (304) and Adam Vinatieri (304) for 15th place.
• WR Dante Hall (12) needs one return touchdown to
tie Brian Mitchell (13) for first place on the NFL’s all-time return touchdowns
list.
A WIN OVER THE BENGALS
WOULD:
• Give the Rams a 4-9 record in the 2007
season.
• Give
the Rams their fourth victory in their last five
games.
• Give Rams’ coach Scott Linehan a
1-0 career record against Cincinnati.
• Improve the Rams’ all-time record vs. the Bengals to
6-5.

Game Story
By Nick Wagoner
Senior Writer
CINCINNATI –
In fact,
the Rams were unable to generate an offensive touchdown without
quarterback Marc Bulger or backup Gus Frerotte on the way to a 19-10
loss against Cincinnati at Paul Brown Stadium.
St.
Louis falls to 3-10 on the season. Cincinnati moves to 5-8.
Fourth Quarter
A relatively
uneventful quarter got a little life when the Rams put together
their best drive of the day.
Berlin found Holt for
a pair of first downs and the Rams drove into
Cincinnati territory to
set up a 50-yard field goal attempt from Wilkins.
Wilkins connected on
the kick to cut the deficit to 16-10 Bengals with 5:08 to go.
The defense couldn’t get off the field, though, as Rudi
Johnson pounded out big gains and first downs to keep
Cincinnati’s offense on
the field. Graham hit a 46-yard field goal to make it 19-10 Bengals
with 2:22 to play.
Berlin threw an
interception to Dexter Jackson to end the Rams' hopes.
Third Quarter
The third period started as well as it could
for the Rams. On the second play, Palmer fired to his left and
cornerback Fakhir Brown jumped the route and returned it 36 yards
for a touchdown. The extra point cut the deficit to 10-7Cincinnati .
The Bengals answered
with a solid drive to set up a 38-yard field goal from Graham to
make it 13-7
Cincinnati
with
4:41 to go in the
quarter.
A three and out for the Rams
gave it back to the Bengals, who used a 52-yard completion from
Palmer to Chad Johnson to set up a 32-yard field goal for Graham to
make it 16-7 with 19 seconds left in the quarter.
At the end of the third, the Bengals lead the Rams
16-7.
Second Quarter
The Rams’ drive
stalled out and they pinned
Cincinnati
at the 7. But
a 45-yard run by DeDe Dorsey gave the Bengals some breathing room.
The Bengals drove deep into St. Louis
territory and cornerback Ron Bartell
missed a golden opportunity for an interception before
Cincinnati
settled for a
27-yard field goal from Shayne Graham. That kick made it 10-0 with
9:50
to go in the half.
The Rams put together
their best drive of the day when
Jackson
broke off a
54-yard run to
Cincinnati
’s 19. But a
holding penalty slowed the drive and Jeff Wilkins missed wide right
from 40 yards out to give it back to the Bengals.
Bartell made up for
his missed chance earlier when he intercepted Palmer on the next
play. After picking up a first down,
Jackson
was hit on the
exchange with
Berlin
and coughed up a fumble to give it right back.
The Rams got a three and out on defense to get it back and
picked up a first down, but couldn’t get a second and punted back to
the Bengals with about a minute to go in the half.
The defense got a
stop on the final possession despite Cincinnati's best efforts to
get another score. It's 10-0 Cincinnati at the end of the half.
First Quarter
The first two plays
of the Brock Berlin era certainly didn’t inspire much confidence. He
was hit on first down as he threw. Somehow, receiver Torry Holt came
up with it for a 9-yard gain. But
Berlin
stumbled on the
snap on the next play and the Rams went three and out.
After forcing the
Bengals to a three and out, the Rams went three and out again.
Donnie Jones’ punt gave
Cincinnati
field
position at the Rams’ 42. Running back Rudi Johnson punched it in
from 1 yard out for the opening score after an 18-yard pass
interference against linebacker Will Witherspoon gave the Bengals
the ball at the 1.
The extra point made
it 7-0
Cincinnati
with
5:32 to go in the
quarter.
The Rams got it going a bit on the ensuing possession,
picking up a couple of first downs. They have it at the
Cincinnati
42 at the end
of the quarter.
Pregame
Notes
-
Greetings from rainy, dreary Paul Brown Stadium where
the rain is pouring down in buckets and the play is sure to be
sloppy. Advantage: Defense.
-
Brock
Berlin
, as expected, will start against the
Bengals.
Berlin
replaces Marc Bulger at quarterback and is
making his first NFL regular season appearance. Saw
Berlin
this morning
and he looked fairly confident. Fortunately, the Bengals struggle
with the pass rush and
Berlin
should get time to throw. Still, expect to
see a healthy dose of running back Steven Jackson.
-
Bulger is inactive today and joined on that list by
Gus Frerotte (third quarterback), Brandon Williams, Eric Bassey,
Nick Leckey, Rob Petitti, Mark LeVoir and Trevor Johnson.
-
Marques Hagans will return kicks in place of Williams.
Andy McCollum will start at center in place of Brett Romberg. Todd
Bouman is the backup quarterback and Brandon Gorin starts at right
tackle.
-
The only notable players missing for
Cincinnati
are tackle
Willie Anderson and free safety Madieu Williams. Stacey Andrews
starts in place of
Anderson
and Chinedum Ndukwe replaces Williams. Quick note on
Andrews, he was the fourth round pick of the Bengals that used to
belong to the Rams before it was dealt as part of a move to trade up
and acquire Jackson in the 2004 NFL
Draft.
