The storyline
The Rams have found every possible way to lose games the last few years, including last week. If the Raiders are finally for real, they need to show it Sunday.

Why you should watch
St. Louis rookie quarterback Sam Bradford looks like a cool customer and a real gamer. Having him drop back 55 times again, though, might not be the best approach.

Did you know?
Rams running back Steven Jackson has 100-plus yards from scrimmage in 14 of his past 16 games vs. the AFC. ... St. Louis wideout Mark Clayton had a career-high 10 receptions last week. ... Raiders running back Darren McFadden recorded his first career TD reception last week. ... Oakland's Richard Seymour aims for his fourth consecutive game with a sack vs. the Rams.
