On Sunday, the Rams will play an opponent that will be without its star quarterback and other notable starters.
Sound familiar?
A week after The Rams lost to a seemingly undermanned player. San Francisco 49ers, they're going to play Baltimore Ravens without Lamar Jackson and M&T Bank Stadium. It's the start of an extended road trip that will keep the Rams in Baltimore to prepare for their Oct. 19 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London.

Gary Klein breaks down what to expect from the Rams as they prepare to face the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday before flying to London ahead of their Week 7 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
“You can never go into a game and say, 'Oh, we're going to step over somebody,'” Rams defensive lineman Coby Turner said. “These are all NFL guys. You don't bring your A-game one time and you'll get roasted.”
The Rams found a difficult path to… defeat in overtime 26-23 by the 49ers. Backup cornerback Mac Jones carved up defenses with quick passes that prevented turnovers and challenged linebackers and defensive backs.
Jackson is out with a hamstring injury. Cooper Rush expected to start.
“You have to remind yourself it’s Sunday,” safety Quentin Lake said. “Sometimes you think, 'Oh man, Lamar or whoever is out there are the best players.' But now the guys coming in are even more hungry because they need to prove themselves. They're going to give it their all and have nothing to lose.”
The last time the Rams visited M&T Bank Stadium, they lost when The Ravens returned the punt. to land on the move.
Special teams were once again a problem for the Rams.
They've had four punts blocked this season, including an extra point attempt in a loss to the 49ers.
