With their first loss of the 2011 season behind them, Mike Shanahan and the Washington Redskins must get ready for a potential trap game in Week 4 against the St. Louis Rams. Make no mistake about it, the Rams are not playing good football and have not at all lived up to preseason expectations. Injuries have a lot to do with that of course. But don't overlook the Rams just yet if you're a 'Skins fan. At 0-3, St. Louis is far from out of it in the awful NFC West. A home win against Washington would put the Rams right back on track after Week 4, and you better believe Steve Spagnuolo won't allow his team to feel sorry for itself or give up on one another so early in the season.
With that in mind, let's take a look at the two teams' series history, broadcast information for Sunday's matchup in St. Louis, and a few team and individual statistics for both squads.
