Steven Jackson was excused from their recent victory over the Redskins due a “sore groin” although it certainly looked as if he was benched due to getting flagged for spiking the ball after what appeared to be a touchdown.
They did not rule it a touchdown and the Rams were fortunate to get a call in their favor after Cortland Finnegan baited Josh Morgan into throwing the ball at him.
The throw cost them 15 yards and turned a 47-yard field goal into a 62-yarder that did not even come close. Death threats were sadly followed to Morgan, and it just goes to show you how many people cross that line between sports and real life.
We are just heading into the third week of the NFL season and this is a sport in which so much can change in the drop of a cap.
Jackson is expected to be just fine for the game, but a stout Chicago Bears defense that held Aaron Rodgers in check should be able to obliterate Sam Bradford and his poor offensive line.
