Quick Take: Rams ready to rumble with 'Fins

NFL.com and NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport has his thoughts on the game:

Why this game is intriguing: This isn't shaping up to be a pretty game. While the Rams defense should be a nightmare for the Miami Dolphins up front, St. Louis' offense is still trying like crazy to find some semblance of production. A 10-7 rumble could be in the works. That's OK, because whoever wins will take a giant step forward in their rebuilding, especially if it's the Rams. A victory here would be their third straight, making them a player in the NFC West.

What to watch: Much to our surprise, quarterback Ryan Tannehill hasn't had many rookie moments. With just six interceptions and completing 57.4 percent of his passes, he has appeared solid. That's enough to make me believe the Miami Dolphins are doing the right thing by playing him. It would be nice if he led them to wins, but that's not essential at this point. This likely isn't a playoff team anyway. All you want to see are positive developments, and he'll be challenged against a suffocating defensive backfield featuring Cortland Finnegan and Janoris Jenkins.
