With a win on Sunday night in Chicago, the #Rams would hold claim to the best record to start a season in franchise history (12-1). The 1969 Rams opened the season with 11 straight wins before dropping their final three regular season games.

Plan for Aqib Talib right now is full bore, no pitch count, according to #Rams HC Sean McVay

“He’s playing the best he’s played since I’ve been here.” Wade Phillips on Aaron Donald.

The Rams have nominated Andrew Whitworth as their Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year for his actions in the community.

Sean McVay said Malcom Brown had his clavicle reset and it’s likely he’ll go to the IR. Recovery is expected to take 8-10 weeks

Sean McVay confirmed with reporters Monday that he did reach out to Kliff Kingsbury after he was fired at Texas Tech, but indicated the conversation was more than asking Kingsbury to serve as an offensive assistant/consultant for the remainder of the season. “The gist of the conversation was more along the lines of just a friend reaching out to another friend,” McVay said, adding later, “Those are things that when you have some rare friendships like I’ve been fortunate to form in this profession, you want to be able to, No. 1 be supportive of your buddy, but No. 2 if it’s something that can help you improve as a team, if somebody wanted to do that, we’re always looking for ways to do that.”

Trubisky was listed as a full participant in Wednesday’s practice. Pairing that with this + comments made yesterday, it would be very surprising if Trubisky isn’t behind center on Sunday.

FWIW, CB Marcus Peters (ankle) listed as a full participant on the #LARams Wednesday injury report. Not that it is an estimate, since the LA only has a walk-thru on Wednesdays. But that’s a good sign.

After rushing for two touchdowns last week in Detroit, now there are only three names left above Todd Gurley on the @RamsNFL career list for rushing TDs:

56 – @sj39
56 – @EricDickerson
44 – @TG3II

Wade Phillips said he doesn’t think NFL MVP will ever again go to a defensive player, but again was effusive with Aaron Donald praise: “We’re glad to have him. If Aaron gets it or Todd Gurley gets it, we really don’t care.”
