ST. LOUIS (AP) -Pittsburgh Steelers free safety Anthony Smith, burned for three long pass plays in two games, was not in the lineup for Thursday night's game against the St. Louis Rams. Smith, who also motivated the New England Patriots two weeks ago when he guaranteed a victory, was replaced by Tyrone Carter. Carter had two starts at strong safety earlier in the year when Troy Polamalu was injured. Smith made his second interception of the season last week but was beaten on Dennis Northcutt's 55-yard |

ST. LOUIS (AP) -The St. Louis Rams will retire Marshall Faulk's No. 28 jersey at halftime of Thursday night's game against Pittsburgh. But Faulk said he might have given up the jersey much earlier if the outcome of Super Bowl XXXVI had been different. Faulk arrived in St. Louis in a trade from Indianapolis in 1999 and led the Rams to their only Super Bowl championship that season. Two years later, the Rams were heavy favorites against New England, but lost 20-17 on a last-second field goal. Faulk decid |

The Pittsburgh Steelers are stumbling toward a playoff spot they thought all season would be easy to get. Given their poor road record and the St. Louis Rams' second-half resurgence from a winless half-season, they have some reason to worry. They might have trouble Thursday night against the 3-11 Rams in one of those NFL Network games most of the nation won't be able to see. ``We have too much talent in this locker room to be losing games,'' says Steven Jackson, the St. Louis running back whose absence |

Especially that of a team that, a few weeks back, probably didn't expect this Thursday night game against the St. Louis Rams (3-11) to be nearly so important. That was before the Steelers' once-comfortable two-game lead over Cleveland (9-5) in the AFC North evaporated in only two weeks, although they still own the division tiebreaker.

| (MySportsbook) - The St. Louis Rams have had no trouble keeping pace in the first half this year. It's finishing games that has been the problem. The Rams were hosting the two-loss Packers on Sunday, and trailed by just a 17-14 margin at halftime. Not bad for a then 3-10 team, right? Sixteen second-half points later, and Green Bay left town with a 33-14 victory. "We had some plays that weren't made, and we can go back and say 'if we made that play here or if we finished that drive before the half' we could |

Combined with Seattle's loss to the Carolina Panthers this past Sunday, Green Bay secured a first-round bye in the playoffs for the first time since 1997 after defeating the St. Louis Rams on the road. The Packers then got a favor later on Sunday at Texas Stadium, as the Philadelphia Eagles stunned the Cowboys, putting Dallas and Green Bay in a tie for first overall in the division. "Very, very important," said Green Bay head coach Mi |

ST. LOUIS (AP) -It took the Green Bay Packers to sell out a St. Louis Rams game. Much of the capacity crowd at the Edward Jones Dome on Sunday clearly rooted for the visiting team. Cheeseheads were everywhere and perhaps half of the stadium was clad in Packers' green and yellow, helping the visitors feel right at home in a 33-14 victory. ``It's a joke,'' running back Steven Jackson said. ``The whole first level is Green Bay Packers' fans. It's a joke. We were at Lambeau Field.'' It likely felt that w |

The three-time NFL MVP pulled 1 yard behind Marino with a 44-yard touchdown pass to Greg Jennings, catching the St. Louis Rams in a blitz. That put the Green Bay Packers ahead 27-14 with 5:58 to go in the third quarter. He passed Marino on the Packers' next series on the first play, a 7-yard slant pattern to Donald Driver with 23 seconds gone in the fourth quarter. The ga |
