Preview coverage from therams.com

  • Stu Jackson on the Rams' third down efficiency
    • "That's our money down. I think, as wide receivers, that's the down I feel like, man, when you sacrifice first and second down and we don't get the first down, that's the opportunity you're waiting for. You go in there and you set your pads right, being able to make sure that when we run the ball on those early downs that we're moving. And then third down becomes your opportunity and you get a big smile on your face like, 'Hey, we're throwing the ball, everybody knows we're throwing the ball, and you go out there and make that play." - Puka Nacua
  • Stu Jackson on three keys to beating the 49ers
    • "An efficient run game not only keeps the offense ahead of the sticks, but also opens up the play-action game that has made quarterback Matthew Stafford lethal." - Jackson
  • Wyatt Miller on top quotes and talking points from the podium ahead of Thursday Night Football
    • "(Emmanuel Forbes Jr.) is a guy that's really picked it up above the neck. Very, very smart. He looked good. He took a few reps last week. Obviously, played some scout team. Looked really good physically last week. And then this week, you can tell he's even growing a little more. Obviously, we haven't practiced yet, but just throwing him in there in the walk-throughs, and you can tell football makes sense to him. So we're going to do whatever suits the game plan best, and maybe we'll see him out there." - Chris Shula

Other preview coverage heading into Week 15

  • The Athletic's Jourdan Rodrigue on the Rams showing their potential against Buffalo last week
    • "I think we just keep going to work. These guys have done a great job of really just being able to commit to, 'Are we doing everything in our powers to have no regrets when we look back on this thing?' Are we really putting it out there? Are we not afraid to do whatever it takes to try to be able to come away with the result? No matter what happens, let's go cut it loose. Let's go play free." - Sean McVay
  • The LA Times' Gary Klein on Matthew Stafford potentially going five games without an interception for the first time in his career
    • "Just trying to keep our team in it as best I can, be as disciplined as I can while still being aggressive and giving our guys opportunities to make plays, because they're doing a great job of that for me right now." - Stafford
  • ESPN's Sarah Barshop on Kobie Turner's experience on 'The Masked Singer'
    • "It was kind of a full circle moment because my whole life it's been, 'choose.' Choose football or choose music ... But to just truly be able to live in that authentic part of myself and to be able to bring the totality of who I am to the surface was truly special." - Turner
