“I know our guys are excited to see how we stack up against a great defense that’s been consistent year in, year out.” — McVay on Seattle

Todd Gurley says he can’t eat before a game. “I don’t know, I’ve just never been able to.”

“I’m mostly like super drained (after). But for the most part, I’ll be fine. Somedays I can’t walk. Take couple days, I’ll be right back.”

There’s real, tangible buzz about the Rams, but it hasn’t impacted attendance. How Sunday can start changing that.

The NFL’s lowest reception percentage: Kenny Britt. Second-lowest: Dez Bryant. Third-lowest: Marvin Jones. Fifth-lowest: Amari Cooper.

DB Lamarcus Joyner probably won’t play Sunday, but he should play next week.

Jared Goff’s completion percentage when pressured: 41.2 (20th).
Jared Goff’s completion percentage when not pressured: 77.1 (2nd).

The Rams, who settled for seven Greg Zuerlein field goals on Sunday, have a 57.9-percent red-zone-touchdown percentage, only slightly above average. OC Matt LaFleur: “Any time you talk about the red zone, No. 1, you gotta be able to run the ball down there. Unfortunately last week we didn’t quite run it as well as we have been running it. There’s tighter windows down there, so you gotta be pin point with your accuracy. And then … a lot of good red-zone offenses, they’re going to make off-schedule plays down there.”

Wade Phillips was asked if he believes his defense can build momentum off Sunday’s second half: “Oh yeah, I believe in that. Part of it is playing together. I thought our team defensively has really played well under pressure. … I think things are coming together that way. But this (Seattle) is one of the top offenses in the league, with an elite quarterback. So, it will be a big challenge.”
