RamView, 12/6

* Sunday recap. Greg Zuerlein was named the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week after kicking a tying 53-yard FG with :02 left in regulation and a winning 54-yard FG with :30 left in overtime as the Rams beat the 49ers 16-13. Report

Other positives: Janoris Jenkins scored his third TD in two weeks on a fumble recovery. Rams held Frank Gore under 60 yards. Standout games for Chris Givens (11 catches) and Michael Brockers (11 tackles). William Hayes and Eugene Sims were excellent filling in for Robert Quinn.

Negatives: Givens was the only receiver who could get open. 49ers held Steven Jackson under 50 yards.

The Rams travel to Buffalo Sunday, where they are 3-point underdogs to Ryan Fitzpatrick's Bills.

* Transactions. The Rams did re-sign Quinton Pointer to the practice squad, so I guessed right last week. They have also signed TE Cameron Graham to the PS. According to my record-keeping, Pointer fills the spot left open when Sammy Brown was promoted, and Graham fills the spot left open when Corey Harkey was promoted. But the Rams have also cut Saalim Hakim from the PS. Any reason they would insist on staying a man short on the practice squad? I'll assume there's another PS move brewing.

RamView has only one note on Graham, from the 2011 NFL Combine: just looks like a poor athlete; I'm not even sure what he was doing there. He was signed as an undrafted rookie free agent by the Titans in 2011 and spent all of that season on the Titans' practice squad. He doesn't have any career stats. He's 6'3", 244, out of Louisville, where he was all-Big East in 2010. One of Scouts Inc.'s notes is that he "has to learn to control emotions." Smooth athlete, good at finding holes in the zone and can make plays down the seam. Good hands but doesn't have elite burst or pull-away speed. Has a nasty disposition and maintains his blocks in the running game. Not elusive or a big-play threat.

* Ex-Rams report.
- LB Alex Hoffman-Ellis has been added to the 49ers' practice squad.
- CB Kendric Burney was added to the Panthers' practice squad.
- T Phil Trautwein tried out with the Steelers.
- PK Todd Carter tried out with the Bills. He was a camp leg here last summer.
- TE Brody Eldridge tried out with the Raiders.
- T Ray Feinga tried out with the Packers.

Ex-Ram of the Week is an obvious call this week. Donnie Avery had 5 catches for 91 yards and 2 TDs, including the game-winner with time expiring, in Indy's come-from-behind 35-33 thriller over the Lions.
