* Pluses: the defense generally played well. Cortland Finnegan picked off another pass and Chris Long scored his first two sacks of the season. Greg Zuerlein hit 56- and 46-yard FGs.
* Negatives: Sam Bradford threw a pick-six, was sacked six times, and had a passer rating of 39.2. Offensive line badly outmatched by the Bears. Running game got nowhere. No receiver besides Danny Amendola could get open, except when Brandon Gibson dropped a bomb in the 2nd. Stupid penalties by Mario Haggan and Darian Stewart kept Bears scoring drives alive.
* More bad news: the 2-1 Seahawks, coming off one of the most controversial finishes in NFL history (refereed by the incompetent crew that did the Rams' home opener), are next, and they sacked Aaron Rodgers EIGHT times Monday night. In the first half. No line on the game yet, but the Rams have to be getting four at the least, maybe as much as six. (EIGHT sacks in the first half?)
* Injuries: no new injuries for the Rams after the Bears game, and Michael Brockers could be back for Seattle. I'm thinking Arizona is more likely; I don't know that I'd want him to play twice in five days off his ankle injury.
* Ex-Rams watch: after being waived, Greg Salas has been added to the Patriots' practice squad.
