The Rams (4-4) (0-3 V) were on a BYE Week, in Week 9, after winning in Carolina 20-10, in Week 8. The Rams currently sit tied for second in the NFC West.

RB Steven Jackson ran for 59 yards off 23 carries, while TE Daniel Fells and WR Danny Amendola each added a TD. Their defense got three sacks and pulled down three interceptions. Sam Bradford doesn't need to put up big numbers in order for the Rams to win; he just needs to limit his mistakes. Bradford did that on Sunday, completing 78.1% of his passes and not committing any turnovers. The Rams proved that they can win games with defense as long as the offense limits its mistakes and turnovers. The Rams stop the run, force turnovers and pressure the quarterback at very high levels. If they keep playing like they are, the Rams may be headed for the playoffs, and Coach Steve Spagnuolo and Sam Bradford could be major contenders for Coach of the Year and Offensive Rookie of the Year awards, respectively. RB Steven Jackson averages 120.8 yards from scrimmage per game since 2006, the most in the NFL over that span; Chris Long has a sack in three consecutive games. The Rams offense is ranked 27th (302ypg) with a 24th ranked pass game (196ypg) and an 17th ranked ground game (106ypg). Danny Amendola leads the Rams offense with two TD’s. The Rams will go up against the Niners 25th ranked defense overall (359ypg), with a 13th ranked pass rush (210ypg) and the second worst ranked rush defense (149ypg). Aqib Talib leads their defense with five interceptions. The Bucs defense allows the 25th most amount of points per-game (21.3ppg).

RB Frank Gore had 29 carries for 118 yards with a TD, while WR Michael Crabtree made three catches for 53 yards with a TD. The Niners had four sacks and one interception on the day. Troy Smith is approaching this week as if he will remain the San Francisco 49ers' starting quarterback for at least one more Sunday. Singletary said last week Smith likely would get another shot, but injured regular starter Alex Smith is planning to win his job back once he is fully healthy.Singletary prasied Tropy Smith for sticking to the game plan and not trying to do too much, which has led to interceptions for Alex Smith this season. "I try to stay even keel because you never want to put yourself in a situation where you get into an extreme high or an extreme low," Troy Smith said. RB Frank Gore holds the franchise record for 100-plus yard rushing games (24) and Vernon Davis has a touchdown in four of his past five outings. The Niners offense is ranked 22nd overall (315ypg) with a 18th ranked pass game (217ypg) and an 21st ranked running game (98ypg). They score the 30th least amount of points per-game (17.1ppg).
