L.A. Rams– In their return to Los Angeles, the Rams scored three field goals off kicker Greg Zuerlein to upend the Seattle Seahawks 9-3 on Sept. 18. L.A. linebackers Mark Barron and Alec Ogletree shut down the Seattle quarterback, Russell Wilson, with 19 tackles between them. The defense still has kinks to smooth out, as the secondary gave up several big plays to Seattle receiver Tyler Lockett. The Rams play the 1-1 Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road on Sunday.
