Bradford had a miserable day. He only completed 18 of his 35 passing attempts, and threw for 153 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions. His lousy 4.3 yards per passing attempt average was only outdone by the six sacks that the St. Louis Rams offensive line gave up.

Steven Jackson, who made a surprise start in Sunday’s game after dealing with an injury all week, was a nonfactor. He rushed for 29 yards on 11 carries.

Danny Amendola was the offense’s best contributor. He reeled in five catches on nine targets for 66 yards. However, it wasn’t enough to slow down the Chicago Bears.

The Rams were outperformed by the Bears’ defense and special teams, giving up a defensive touchdown to Major Wright on an interception and three field goals to kicker Robbie Gould.

The St. Louis Rams (1-2, 0-1 away) will host the Seattle Seahawks next Sunday at Edward Jones Dome.
