Postgame report:
What have we learned: Best sometimes not to make too much of one preseason game, i.e. the Rams' last week. They were noticeably sharper on both sides of the ball this week. Sam Bradford and Steven Jackson were at the tops of their respective games and the offensive line run-blocks well. Jury is still out on pass-blocking. Defense impressed with sacks and forced turnovers but still has some leaks to plug in coverage, especially the safeties. The Chiefs will be run-heavier in the regular season, and didn't have Dwayne Bowe, so it's hard to draw a bead on them just yet. Jamaal Charles looks quick again, Peyton Hillis is a load, and Tamba Hali is a grown-ass man.
Player of the game:
Several worthy candidates, but it's going to Bradford. Of all the players, Rams Nation needed him to have a good game the most, and he certainly did, with over 100 yards passing, 2 TDs and a passer rating over 140 in just over a quarter of work.
Up next:
Still shooting for Titans-Seahawks from week 1 this afternoon.
