Saint Louis is hosting only their fourth prime-time game since 2008. And two of those were Thursday nighters on NFL Network.

Rams have played Jim Harbaugh's 49er team close more often than not:

Rams at home vs Jim Harbaugh's 49ers

2011 - L 27-34

2012 - W 16-13 (OT)

2013 - L 11-35

Rams away vs Jim Harbaugh's 49ers

2011 - L 0-26

2012 - T 24-24

2013 - L 13-23

Rams will be wearing 1999 throwback uniforms in honor of the 15th Anniversary of the Super Bowl-winning Greatest Show on Turf, who is being honored at halftime

Helmets and jerseys aren't only throwback changes for the night...The Edward Jones Dome tonight has a throwback look to it, commemorating the 1999 Super Bowl Championship team.

And for MNF, the Rams "are rolling back hot dog and beer specials to the year 1999."

under blitz-happy defensive coordinator Gregg Williams (the DC of the Saints when they won the Super Bowl), the Rams have been sending extra rushers more than anyone else in football this season. Kaepernick has a 107.7 rating against the blitz this season, 83.9 against no blitz

Rams linebackers James Laurinaitis and Alec Ogletree will have their hands full. This season, Kaepernick has more rushing yards (205) than running backs Jamaal Charles , Chris Johnson , Shonn Greene , Montee Ball , Reggie Bush , Darren McFadden , Toby Gerhart , Donald Brown and Doug Martin .

Since the start of 2013, Kaep has run the ball -- either by design or on scrambles -- 135 times, which is more than any other quarterback in football.

However, Kaepernick has been criticized heavily for his habits in the pocket. Only Geno Smith has held onto the ball longer than Kaepernick this season. That might explain why Kaepernick has been sacked 3rd-most frequently per dropback (8%) of every qualifying quarterback in the league

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
