The Rams come into this game led by quarterback Matthew Stafford, who showcased his prowess by passing for an impressive 307 yards in Week 2.

In Super Bowl LVI, he threw for 283 yards and three touchdowns against the Bengals.
Running back Kyren Williams has been a revelation, setting career highs in catches (6) and scrimmage yards (100) last week. He’s the only player to score two touchdowns in each of his team’s first two games.

Nacua is also the first player ever to achieve 10+ catches and 100+ receiving yards in each of his first two games, leading the league with an astonishing 25 catches.
On the defensive side, the indomitable Aaron Donald, who had two sacks in Super Bowl LVI against Cincinnati, continues to wreak havoc with his pass-rushing skills. Linebacker Ernest Jones is a tackling monster, leading team with 10 tackles in Week 2, his 5th career game with 10+ tackles.
The Rams’ young guns, linebacker Byron Young and linebacker Michael Hoecht, are hunting for sacks, while safety Jordan Fuller is riding high after his first-career forced fumble.

Mixon has a history of success against the Rams, with 150 scrimmage yards and a receiving touchdown in two career matchups, including Super Bowl LVI.
Wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase is on fire, boasting a streak of five or more catches in 10 consecutive games. He’s a prime target for Burrow and has consistently delivered in primetime games.
