Matthew Stafford, Rams look to get back to .500 in visit to rebuilding Patriots

Associated Press  

Los Angeles Rams at New England Sunday, 1 p.m. EST, FOX BetMGM NFL odds: Rams by 5. Series notes The Rams ended a six-game losing streak to the Patriots when the teams last met during the 2020 pandemic season. The previous Patriots player to lead the NFL in punt return average was Gunner Olszewski in 2020 with a 17.3-yard average.. LB Christian Elliss has a team-leading eight special teams tackles. If he reaches 10, it will mark the seventh consecutive season that the Patriots have had a player reach at least 10 special teams tackles.. ST/S Brendan Schooler has seven special teams tackles. Chances of that streak continuing for Maye look decent against a Rams defense that is allowing 127.6 rushing yards per game thus far.
