Preview coverage from therams.com
- Stu Jackson on rookie defensive linemen Braden Fiske and Jared Verse learning from missed opportunities
- "They have been disruptive and causing havoc and that's always a good thing in the backfield, and now we just need to stress finishing plays and putting yourself in those positions in practice." - Defensive coordinator Chris Shula
- Stu Jackson on wide receiver and punt returner Xavier Smith's patience paying off
- "It really felt amazing (to finally get an opportunity), because this is something that I worked so long, so hard (for). Just being patient, watching the guys in front of me grind, and taking some of the things that they apply to their game, so for me, it just feels great." - Smith
- Wyatt Miller on wide receiver Tutu Atwell's clutch catches and what it could mean for his future role
- "I wouldn't say I'm surprised. It makes you realize he probably should have gotten other opportunities. He's always been called upon and he's always kind of delivered." - Head coach Sean McVay
- Wyatt Miller on outside linebacker Byron Young's complete effort against the 49ers
* "I just felt like last week I wasn't as disruptive, so this week I just practiced really hard and focused on really helping the team out, getting the job done. This week I feel like I was definitely locked in more." - Young
Other preview coverage heading into Week 4
- The Athletic's Jourdan Rodrigue and Kevin Fishbain on Matthew Stafford and Caleb Williams' mutual admiration
- "It's all a learning opportunity, a chance to find what you can do (and) what you can't do. (Williams) is obviously immensely talented. He makes plays every single week that you see on TV that blow you away. As a quarterback, I sit there and go, 'Man, that's some incredible stuff.' And then I'm sure there are plays he wants back — like all of us." - Stafford
- The Associated Press' Dan Greenspan on the Rams' reconfigured offensive line benefitting from continuity
- "I felt like it was no hesitation in our play. And it felt like we understood what had to be done to get where we wanted to go. Everybody just put their head down, trust the guy next to him, and just play." - Kevin Dotson
- ESPN's Lindsey Thiry on Kyren Williams' path to the pros and how his mom, Taryn, helped him achieve his dream
- "He's showing he can be an every down back right now. This goes back to kind of how people doubted him growing up... he's proved everybody wrong that has doubted him." - Taryn Williams
- LA Times' Gary Klein on Braden Fiske's fast start and playing in front of family in Chicago
- "He knows how to be a pro as a rookie and that's rare." - Defensive line coach Giff Smith
