Fifteen years ago, my family entered a partnership with Stan Kroenke and it has been a wonderful relationship, said Chip Rosenbloom.Although today is an emotional day and the end of an era for our family, it is also the beginning of a new chapter in the rich history of the S

Louis Rams. We look forward to Stan continuing the great tradition of the organization. On behalf of my sister Lucia and our entire family,congratulate Stan and the Kroenke family on becoming the majority owner of the Rams.

Kroenke currently is the owner of the Colorado Avalanche (NHL), Denver Nuggets (NBA), the Colorado Rapids (MLS) and the ColoradoMammoth (NLL). He is also the largest shareholder of Arsenal FC of the English Premier League.

Cleveland Browns rank second with

16.

In addition, St. Louis has outscored its opponents 44-16 in the f

Rams QB Sam Bradford was named NFLOffensive Rookie of the Month for his stel-lar performance in the month of October,and he continued his strong play intoNovember.

Last week against Atlanta, he completed27-of-42 passes for 233 yards and twotouchdowns. His passer rating was 84.7and his completion percentage was 62.3.

Bradford had 11 touchdown passesthrough eight weeks, which allowed him to

Bradfords peers are taking notice of the super rookie signal callewell. In a recent survey conducted by The Sporting News, 100 pers were asked to identify the most impressive 2010 rookie. Bradreceived the most votes of any player as he was mentioned on 4

During last weeks game, QB SamBradford set an NFL rookie record bythrowing 169 consecutive passes withoutan interception. Tampa Bays BruceGradkowski held the previous mark with146 attempts without an interception in2006.

Bradfords streak is the third longest inteam history, trailing only Mark Bulger(249, 2005-06) and Roman Gabriel (206,1968-69). When Bradfords streak endedin the fourth quarter, it was the first timehe threw an interception since Week 5 atDetroit.

The former Heisman Trophy winner has thrown just nine interctions this season on 228 attempts. With a strong finish, Bradcould challenge former Lions QB Charlie Batchs NFL rookie recfor the lowest interception percentage.

games.

RB Steven Jackson has set a high bar

when it comes to protecting the foot-

bles in his illustrious Rams career, in

which he has logged 1,751 carries and 309 receptions, a staggering

average of one fumble for every 158.5 touches.

Two weeks ago at San Francisco, Hall was credited with a sack when

he hit Troy Smith and forced a fumble. In Week 8, he hit Carolinas

Matt Moore as he was throwing and forced an errant throw that was

DE Chris Long, the second overall

pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, has

played a key role in a Rams defense

that is among the NFLs top 10 in

sacks, scoring defense and third

down defense.

Two weeks ago in San Francisco,

Long shared two sacks with LB

James Laurinaitis, giving him 5.5 on

the season and setting a new single-season career high. Prior to last

week, he had at least one sack in four

straight games, and which was the

longest of his career.

In Week 6 against San Diego, Long turned in his first two-sack per-

formance of the season and his second of his career. For his efforts,

Long was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week.

Long has 5.0 sacks in the last five games. On the season, he leads

the Rams with 14 quarterback hits and 13 pressures.

LONG ON TALENT

The Rams defense has stood its ground when it counts this sea

as evidenced by the teams defensive statistics in the red zone.

On the season, St. Louis is eighth in the NFL in red zone defe

Opponents have scored touchdowns on just 41.9 percent of t

drives inside the St. Louis 20-yard line. During a four-game str

from Weeks 2-5, the Rams held opponents without a touchdown

five consecutive trips to their red zone. That streak came to an

in Week 5 at Detroit.

In all, the Rams have given up just 129 points on 32 possession

their opponents inside their 20. The 129 points allowed in the

zone is the eighth fewest in the NFL this season.

In addition, Amendola is one of the leagues best on third down. 22 receptions on third down are second most in the NFL.

WR/PR Danny Amendola has given the Rams a boost on offense and in the kicking game.

One of the biggest moves the Rams made this offseason was the

acquisition of veteran DT Fred Robbins, and the addition of the 11th

year pro has paid early dividents.

Robbins had a sack and three quarterback hits in the Rams Week 6

win over San Diego. Following the win, teammate Chris Long said

the inside push Robbins provided helped Long enjoy a two-sack day

as well and led to Long being named NFC Defensive Player of the

Week. Four weeks ago, Robbins recovered a fumble and had two

stops in a win over the Seahawks. In his Rams debut, Robbins

recorded three tackles, one tackle for loss and a sack.

The Rams rank ninth in the NFL in run defense and 15th in total yards

allowed, and Coach Steve Spagnuolo recently said that the acquisi-tion of key veterans such as Robbins and LB Nail Diggs has been a

big factor in the improvement.

On the season, Robbins has 18 total tackles, including three for loss,

eight quarterback hits, two sacks and five passes defensed.

Robbins came to the Rams after six seasons with the New York

Giants. During two of those seasons, current Rams Head Coach

Steve Spagnuolo was the Giants defensive coordinator. Its no coin-

cidence that those two campaigns were perhaps the best of Robbins

career as he tied his career high with 5.5 sacks in each of those sea-

sons and was a Pro Bowl Alternate in 2008. He played a key role in

New Yorks run to their Super Bowl XLII championship.
