ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) - The Detroit Lions have sold enough tickets, allowing this weekend's home football game against the St. Louis Rams to be televised locally.

The game will air live in the Detroit, Lansing, Saginaw-Flint and Toledo, Ohio, markets. Lions President Tom Lewand said fans purchased a ``significant portion'' of the remaining tickets, which allowed the team to partner with the |

| (MySportsbook) - Despite being slated during the budding weeks of the NFL season, Sunday's matchup between the St. Louis Rams and hosting Detroit Lions didn't look like it was going to have a big impact in the standings. While that may still be true for the winless Lions, the surprising Rams are hoping to stay in the early hunt for first place in the NFC West and win a third straight game for the first time in four seasons this weekend at Ford Field. Given that the Rams and Lions had combined for just five |

ST. LOUIS (AP) - Steven Jackson knows exactly how many yards it will take to become the St. Louis Rams' career rushing leader. He passed Marshall Faulk for second place last weekend, ignoring a groin strain, and it won't be long before he barrels past Eric Dickerson and into franchise lore. ``It's 254 yards to tie, 255 yards to break it,'' Jackson said Thursday. ``But,'' he added with a chuckle, ``Who's counting?'' Jackson has already cemented his spot as a crowd favorite, winning over fans who fel |

Bidwell injured his hip while warming up before Washington's game at the St. Louis Rams in Week 3 and didn't play. He returned to action Sunday at the Philadelphia Eagles, punting five times for a 37.2-yard average. Bidwell averaged 41.7 yards on 15 punts this season.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press.

ST. LOUIS (AP) - A healthier roster figures to give the St. Louis Rams a better shot at building on their first two-game winning streak since 2008. Despite early season injury woes, the Rams (2-2) are tied for the NFC West lead.

ST. LOUIS (AP) - Usually, Sam Bradford is quick with a response. This time, the St. Louis Rams' fast-rising rookie quarterback was stumped. The question: What's the hardest part of your job? ``I don't know. I don't know. Don't know,'' said Bradford, his voice trailing off as he met with a small group of reporters. Then a long pause, and the answer from a player seemingly wise beyond his years. ``It's an awesome job, to be honest,'' Bradford said. ``I don't know how many people are blessed to come to |

He will most likely get the nod again this Sunday, when rookie quarterback Sam Bradford leads the St. Louis Rams into Ford Field.

ST. LOUIS (AP) - Usually, Sam Bradford is quick with a response. This time, the St. Louis Rams' fast-rising rookie quarterback was stumped. The question: What's the hardest part of your job? Bradford's answer: He doesn't know, because he's got an awesome job. Rookies are supposed to struggle, get flustered by defensive strategies. It hasn't happened yet with this guy. After giving up 289 yards and two touchdowns to Bradford on Sunday, the Seattle Seahawks felt as if they'd faced a seasoned leader. |

ST. LOUIS (AP) - Steve Spagnuolo preached patience in his first season as St. Louis Rams coach. Their 1-15 record earned them the first pick in the draft, which brought quarterback Sam Bradford, and there were stumbles that were often painful to watch. The system is starting to click in Year 2. They're tied for first place in a weak NFC West at 2-2, featuring an always attacking defense that has forced 10 turnovers and an offense that already can lean a bit on Bradford and not just have Steven Jackson ca |
