Rams-Commanders matchups: How to watch, start time and prediction

LA Times  

Quarterback Matthew Stafford, shown leading the Rams out of the tunnel at SoFi Stadium, has the offense in stride. Stafford passed for three touchdowns last Sunday in a 37-31 overtime loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Star receiver Cooper Kupp appears to be back to his old, more healthy self with touchdown catches in each of the last two games. Tutu Atwell was in concussion protocol this week, so that could mean a larger role for veteran Demarcus Robinson, who has touchdown catches in the last two games. Tackle Jonathan Allen has 5½ sacks, cornerback Kendall Fuller two interceptions for a unit that also features safety Kamren Curl.
