The St. Louis Rams would like to follow-up their shocking 34-31 OT win over defending NFC champions Seattle Seahawks on opening night as they visit the Washington Redskins at the FedEx Field on Sunday.
Spearheaded by new quarterback Nick Foles, the Rams came from behind to snatch the game from the Seahawks, who led the game 31-24 with under five minutes left in the match, in extended time, as per Yahoo Sports.
St. Louis led 24-13 at the end of the third quarter, but Russell Wilson led an 18-point barrage in the payoff period.
Meanwhile, the Redskins suffered a familiar opening loss to the Miami Dolphins, 17-10, as their defense could not take advantage of their opponent's miscues on offense, via the Miami Herald.
Washington's offense has not been good in the game as well, as quarterback Kirk Cousins could not efficiently fill-in for the injured Robert Griffin III. The injury to starting wideout DeSean Jackson just added to Cousins whole-game struggles.
The Rams are not that strong on the defensive end, but going against an offense like that of the Redskins would be no problem for Jeff Fisher's boys.
Prediction: Rams win, 27-14
