MNF: 49ers at St. Louis (Rams: 1999 throwback uniforms)

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

    • D Carr must have really disliked the saints to wait and do this announcement after the draft has passed if he made this call a few weeks before the draft sure they would have approached it and the offseason differently.  oh well will be interesting to see how their qbs perform.  would love to see them roll with Thill and just make the whole offense towards his skillset.  Although sadly would be only playing in about half the games with how often he gets injured. 
    • I have to say it's quite fascinating seeing you pivot from months and months of wailing and agonizing about threads derailing into Bryce Young slingfests only for you to turn around and do the same thing. And just for the record. Nobody in life ever attained wisdom and clarity from mistakes by having people blindly fawn over them and tell them they are above reproach and incapable of making mistakes. Our front office is just as human as we are. And based on the fact that front offices across the league outside of a handful of teams change on a fairly regular basis it's safe to say they are certainly no more infallible than the average Joe even though they possess significantly more knowledge usually. If you want a utopia where all you do is shine shoes for anyone associated with the Panthers you go right on ahead and create yourself a new community sir. More power to you.
    • I trust Morgan when it comes to LBs so I think Wallace will do well.
