  • Rams face the Colts after tough loss to Cincinnati

    Fred Altieri, Sports Reporter|Oct 5, 2023

Seven years later his team suffered a 19-16 loss to the slow-starting Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football at Paycor Stadium, who were sporting their white tiger-striped helmets for only the third time. The Rams (1-2) have now lost...
