The Rams Need Help In The Red Zone

(AP) -- Sam Bradford had a very good day in Week 2, except for the scoreboard.

The St. Louis Rams' inability to finish drives is one of the biggest reasons they're 0-2 for the fifth straight season.


They've scored only two touchdowns the first two games and were thwarted three times inside the 10 in their Monday night loss to the New York Giants, leading to a larger chunk of practice Wednesday devoted to red zone offense.


Bradford, who passed for a career-best 331 yards against the Giants, said it's a matter of execution.

 He includes himself in the blame, mentioning some off-target throws that could have resulted in touchdowns.


Running back Steven Jackson did not practice, casting doubt on his availability for Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens.


Backup Cadillac Williams also did not practice with a hamstring injury, although coach Steve Spagnuolo said Williams could practice Thursday.


Jackson missed the Giants game with a strained right quadriceps and Spagnuolo said a determination would be made at the end of the week.
