“I feel good. I don’t feel banged up or anything, but a week of can never hurt.” — Jared Goff on sitting Sunday @CVRamsClub
“We don’t want this to be misconstrued… We’re going out there to win the game. It’s not a preseason game. It’s not anything to be taken lightly.” — Jared Goff on Sunday @CVRamsClub

Jared Goff’s touchdown-to-interception ratio: 4.00.
Tom Brady’s touchdown-to-interception ratio: 3.75.
This is a real thing that happened this season.
Rams handed out team awards today. RB Todd Gurley was named MVP (Daniel F. Reeves Memorial Award), LT Andrew Whitworth was recognized for his leadership (Carl Ekern Spirit of the Game Award) and WR Cooper Kupp was their rookie of the year (Carroll Rosenbloom Memorial Award).
Rams fans seemingly have an issue with resting starters due to possibility of facing Saints/Panthers on road to win NFC. I think it’s the right move. Lots has to happen for that scenario to take place, but there’s no doubt a lot of Rams players will benefit from a game off.

McVay said players close to reaching contract incentives who are sitting out Sunday because of coaches decision would be taken care of.
