The St. Louis Rams beat the NFL's new darling in Week 2 when they topped Robert Griffin III and the Washington Redskins at home. A win over the playoff-hopeful Chicago Bears on the road in Week 3 could open even more eyes around the NFL on Sunday.
The noon game, televised on FOX, pits two 1-1 teams looking to avoid starting with an early losing record. The Bears could be without star running back Matt Forte, which would certainly be a boon for a perpetually rebuilding Rams looking to pull the road upset and give the Jeff Fisher Era a good start.
Around the rest of the the NFC West, the San Francisco 49ers look to start 3-0 when they travel to play the Minnesota Vikings at noon Sunday, the surprising Arizona Cardinals host the Philadelphia Eagles in battle of 2-0 teams at 3:05 p.m. on Sunday, and the Seattle Seahawks host Monday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers at 7:30 p.m.
