When Saban walked away, Angelo opted for Smith, the St. Louis Rams' defensive coordinator. Although not a household name like Marvin Lewis or Charlie Weis, Smith was well-respected throughout the league after working his way up the coaching ranks. He'd helped Hardy Nickerson and Derrick Brooks develop into Pro Bo |

The Chargers are coming off last Sunday's 38-24 victory over the visiting St. Louis Rams. Merriman made his presence felt with three sacks, but LaDainian Tomlinson was the real star with three touchdowns. Last week's victory allowed San Diego to draw even with the Denver Broncos, who lost to the Indianapolis Colts. Meanwhile, the Browns |

Green Bay is ninth in the NFL against the run, allowing 94.9 yards per game, and has yet to allow a 100-yard rusher this season. Steven Jackson of the St. Louis Rams was the closest, with 98 yards in a 23-20 St. Louis win in Week 5. McCarthy's main objective for the defense is preventing the big play. In a span of two games against Philadelphia and Detroit, the Packers allowed runs of 12 yards or more, or passes |

"Show me," will be the directive given by both the 66,000 fans at the Edward Jones Dome and those watching throughout the State of Missouri on Sunday, as the NFL's two entries from the 24th state square off in the Gateway City. The visiting Chiefs are among the hottest teams in football, having won four of their past five games to move within a game of Denver and San Diego atop the AFC West. Kansas City's re |

ST. LOUIS (AP) -A week after LaDainian Tomlinson steamrolled the St. Louis Rams, along comes Larry Johnson to administer more punishment. Johnson, the Kansas City Chiefs' 230-pound feature back, likely is licking his chops. He had 155 yards on a franchise-record 39 carries and caught two passes for a total of 41 touches last week against the Seahawks, yet claimed no soreness the next day. ``My body feels fine,'' Johnson said. ``I don't get hit. I give hits. I don't have to spend extra time anywhere.''< |

ST. LOUIS (AP) -It's been a season of highs and lows on the field for St. Louis Rams wide receiver Torry Holt, who has three 100-yard games and three others under 50. On Thursday, Holt was dealing with a low off the field. His high school, Eastern Guilford, N.C., burned to the ground the previous day. ``It's pretty tragic,'' Holt said. ``A lot of devastation right now in that community. To see that happen, it definitely keeps you humble.'' Holt shot a receivers skills DVD this summer at the high scho |

ST. LOUIS (AP) -Marc Bulger is doing his job. It's breakdowns elsewhere that have been costing the St. Louis Rams. After consecutive losses, the quarterback's confidence has only grown. He produced 24 points last week against the stingy Chargers, has thrown 248 passes with only one interception, and ranks second in the NFL with a 101.3 passer rating. ``It's good anytime you face a top five defense and you can say you moved the ball,'' Bulger said Wednesday. ``I know from my standpoint and I think I can |
