The Rams have their offense clicking along, though not quite at the same pace as their Super Bowl season of a year ago. Coming off a 20-13 victory against the Browns, QB Jared Goff has passed for 737 yards and four touchdowns against three interceptions, and RB Todd Gurley II has 203 rushing yards on 44 carries with a TD. Goff's favorite target through three weeks has been WR Cooper Kupp, who caught 11 passes for 102 yards and two touchdowns against the Browns and has 23 receptions for 267 yards and two TDs this season.
Meanwhile, the Bucs missed a PAT kick in the first quarter against the Giants last week, and it came back to haunt them in a 32-31 loss. The Buccaneers were torched in the debut of Giants QB Daniel Jones, who threw for 336 yards and two TDs along with running for two more scores. A silver lining for the Buccaneers was the play of Mike Evans, who caught eight passes for 190 yards and three touchdowns.
A couple defensive numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: The Rams rank second in the league when it comes to touchdowns allowed, with only four on the season. As for Tampa Bay, it enters the matchup with only three passing touchdowns allowed, good for fourth best in the NFL.
