"You can never go into a game and be like, 'Oh man, we're about to walk over somebody,' It's all NFL guys. You don't bring your A-game for one time and you're going to get cooked."
"You have to remind yourself it's any given Sunday. You're sometimes like, 'Oh man, Lamar's out or whoever their top-tier players are.' But now the guys coming in are even more hungry because they have to prove themselves. They're going to give it their all and they have nothing to lose."
Rams will play the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium without Lamar Jackson, and Cooper Rush is expected to start. The matchup follows a loss to the undermanned San Francisco 49ers, where backup Mac Jones exploited the Rams' defense with quick passes. Rams players warned against underestimating backups, noting replacements can be hungrier to prove themselves. The Rams begin an extended road trip and will remain in Baltimore to prepare for the Oct. 19 game in London against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Special teams remain problematic, with four kicks blocked this season including an extra point in the 49ers loss.
