Gaines Mixes Bad With Good at Homecoming –PD
This certainly isn’t the way Rams cornerback E.J. Gaines envisioned his return home.

Bernie: Rams are Numbingly Bad
There is hope, Rams fans. There is absolutely hope because I am sitting here in the Arrowhead Stadium press box early Sunday evening, high above the field, and I’m looking across the parking lot to Kauffman Stadium.

Rams Notes: J. Long Could be Done for Year –PD
Remember the Cleveland preseason game, when the Rams lost five starters in the first half?

Special Teams Miscues Fuel Rams’ Loss to Chiefs –PD
Last week, the entire football world was raving about the derring-do of the Rams’ special teams unit. There was the fake punt, and the decoy punt return with the special name — “Mountaineer.”

Rams Defeated in Governor’s Cup, 34-7 –Simmons
While the Rams once again started the game well, they could not sustain a high level of play, losing to the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium, 34-7.

Bernie: Sing it Again … Same Old Rams
Chiefs 34, Rams 7 … and the beat goes on.

Rams’ Missed Chances Become Chiefs’ Blowout –Wagoner
The St. Louis Rams have made a habit of starting as the hare and ending as the tortoise in 2014, but for all of those slow finishes, many of them can be directly linked to a series of missed opportunities.

Wounded Rams limp out of Kansas City –Wagoner
Observed and heard in the locker room after the St. Louis Rams’ 34-7 loss against the Kansas City Chiefs:

Rams, Jake Long believe he has re-torn ACL –PFT
Two key members of the Rams’ offense tore ACLs last year. Now, both have re-torn the same ligaments this year.

Rams Crushed in Kansas City 34-7 –PD
After a promising start, the Kansas City nightmare continued for the Rams. A 34-7 loss to the Chiefs made the Rams 0-3 against their NFL cousins on the western edge of the state since the move to St. Louis in 1995.

Morning Ram-blings: Monday game balls
By Nick Wagoner

http://espn.go.com/blog/st-louis-rams/post/_/id/13025/morning-ram-blings-monday-game-balls-7

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Week 8 of the NFL season is mostly done with only tonight's "Monday Night Football" matchup remaining on the docket.

It was another rough week for the St. Louis Rams and their fans after a 34-7 blowout loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. It could be even worse after the extent of the team's injuries from the game are known.

But we trudge on here with our Monday tradition where all of our ESPN NFL Nation reporters hand out game balls for the best and brightest of Sunday's games.

Once again, the Rams didn't have many options for the award this week but there was one obvious candidate: defensive end Robert Quinn. I chose Quinn because of his five tackles, two sacks, three tackles for loss, two quarterback hits and forced fumble.

While the sacks were good to see, Quinn's forced fumble was the most impressive play of the day as he chased down Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith from behind to knock the ball loose. Unfortunately for the Rams, they could not recover but Quinn has come to life a bit in the past two weeks after a slow start.

I.C.Y.M.I.
