Excerpt taken from Sportsnetwork.com article I read:

The Rams have lost three of four to start the season, including a Week 5 setback in Philadelphia in which they nearly came all the way back from a 27- point deficit before ultimately losing 34-28.

For the Rams, while it obviously didn't end the way quarterback Austin Davis would have liked, it was clear that the former afterthought moved another step closer to earning his bones as a legitimate NFL signal caller.

Davis clearly outplayed Nick Foles and nearly brought the Rams all the way back before consecutive drops by Austin Pettis in the final minute doomed what would have been one of the great comebacks in history.

The undrafted Southern Mississippi product completed 29-of-49 passes for 375 yards and three touchdowns as he led a Rams offence which out gained the Eagles' high-powered outfit 466-352.

"I take my hat off to that guy to tell you the truth," Rams receiver Kenny Britt said when discussing his young QB. "Coming in as a young guy, stepping up each and every day and growing every time in the huddle, you can see his confidence go up. I can tell we will have a good year with him."

Davis and Co. were ultimately undone by three turnovers and another big play by Philadelphia's special teams unit, a blocked punt that was brought back for a TD in the first quarter.

"We just showed that week in and week out we constantly shoot ourselves in the foot," Rams star defensive end Robert Quinn said. "We have to eliminate those (mistakes) if we want to start putting Ws on the board. We do play hard."

The 49ers lead the all-time series with their old divisional foes by the slimmest of margins, 63-62-3.

On Monday nights. However, San Francisco has been the far more successful team, compiling a 45-25 mark. St. Louis, on the other hand, is only 26-30 on the nationally televised showcase.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR:

Now that's he's actually gotten a chance on the field, Davis has performed admirably in his first three starts, compiling passer ratings of 99.1 in Tampa and 98.0 against Dallas before trumping that against the Eagles by cracking the century mark at 103.7.

Granted that's a small sample size but Sam Bradford only matched those kinds of numbers 10 times is his 49 starts with the Rams.

"For me mentally, the biggest thing is just to keep the same approach and keep going at it the way we're doing it," Davis said.

Davis wasn't perfect by any means against Philadelphia, especially early when he looked skittish in the pocket, lacked accuracy and failed to keep his eyes downfield when pressured. As he settled down, though, he continued to make plays and gave the Eagles all they could handle.

"He was calm and collected and just so focused on what he needed to do," Rams coach Jeff Fisher said. "He was not flustered at all. He took some hits and we have to get that corrected but he can overcome. He knows the position is difficult to play and he can overcome a mistake. I think that's the mark of a fine young quarterback."

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE >>>>
