Steven Jackson told reporters following Sunday’s game against Seattle that his groin felt fine during and after the Rams’ 20-3 win over the Seahawks.
And even if Jackson weren’t feeling okay, he wouldn’t care.
The Rams are now 2-2 on the year and had a couple of more breaks gone their way in the first two games, they could be 3-1 or even undefeated. But that doesn’t matter. What matters is that Jackson is healthy (relatively speaking), rookie Sam Bradford (289 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT on Sunday) is playing better than expected so early in his career and the defense has been outstanding.
Outstanding.
St. Louis held Seattle to 257 total yards, including 193 passing and 64 rushing, while forcing two turnovers and allowing just one Olindo Mare field goal on the day. Steve Spagnuolo is obviously leaving his impression on the Rams’ defense, which has yet to allow more than 17 points in any game this season.
Granted, it’s not like the Rams have played any offensive juggernauts to this point. But this was a team that won only one game last year and was beaten like a rented mule week in and week out. A 2-2 start is about as much as the Rams’ brass could ask for at this point.
