Rams Game May Be Closest In A Month

Nobody will fault Seahawks fans for looking past the St. Louis Rams. Their team has just eviscerated the mighty San Francisco 49ers. The Rams are much improved this season, but are certainly not the 49ers. Well, except for the fact that they beat the 49ers themselves, and should have done...
