Coffee will get his first NFL start Sunday when the 49ers (2-1) host the winless St. Louis Rams. San Francisco, which beat Arizona and Seattle to begin the season, can take command of the NFC West with a victory. The 49ers dropped from eighth to 16th in the NFL rankings in rushing offense after producing just 58 net yards against the Vikings |

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) -The Washington Redskins are approaching the halfway mark of the NFL's Lousy Team Tour. To their dismay, they've become one of the feature attractions themselves. After getting booed at home while barely beating a St. Louis Rams team that had lost 11 straight, the Redskins last week became the infamous answer to a trivia question when they ended the 19-game skid of the Detroit Lions. On Sunday, they host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are riding a seven-game schneid and have a quarter |

Head coach Steve Spagnuolo said Robinson suffered "a high ankle sprain and also a fracture high on his fibula. He will pretty much be done (for the season.)" Spagnuolo went on to say Robinson will require surgery to repair the injuries. The third-year receiver was having a br |

| (MySportsbook) - The St. Louis Rams obtained an unwanted record with this past Sunday's 36-17 home loss to the Green Bay Packers, not to mention a rather disgraceful title as well. With the Detroit Lions ending their 19-game losing streak with a 19-14 victory over Washington in Week 3, the Rams now become the unquestioned standard- bearers of futility in the NFL. St. Louis has now dropped its last 13 contests dating back to last season, the longest skid in the franchise's 72-year, three-city existence. One |

PACKERS: Winning on the road in the National Football League is difficult, even when you're facing an opponent as woeful as the St. Louis Rams. The Packers went to the Gateway City and handled the Rams, 36-17, on Sunday, spoiling head coach Steve Spagnuolo's home opener with the team and washing away some of the residue of the previous week's home loss to the suddenly- relevant Cincinnati |

Gore, who's third in the NFC with 241 yards rushing, had a MRI exam late Monday afternoon and his status for this week's game against the St. Louis Rams is uncertain. Without Gore, the 49ers were 0 for 11 on third-down conversions, including a two-yard run by Coffee on third-and-6 that allowed Minnesota to get the ball back one final time at the end of the game. ``We expect much better of oursel |
