St. Louis Rams 2014 NFL Schedule Released

The opponents have been known for awhile, but the date and times have remained covered up. All the while the suspense has been killing. However, it’s finally official, the 2014 NFL Schedule has officially been released.

It looks like the Rams will have some winnable games in the early goings going up against Minnesota and Tampa Bay in weeks one and two, and for the second straight year the Rams will open up at home which worked out pretty well last year when the Rams beat the Cardinals 27-24.

Games still have to be played,  but given that the Rams have two first round draft picks in the upcoming draft, the Rams should be competitive in all of their games. However, the Rams do have the third toughest schedule that includes eight playoff teams and both teams that were in the Super Bowl.

Winning early and starting well is something that could bode well for the Rams to get that early jump in the standings. The Rams failed to do that last season. After starting 1-0, the Rams lost three straight falling to 1-3.

The Rams, unlike last year will have an early bye week, in week four, which is the first week the bye weeks start. That could turn to be an unfortunate thing going into the later part of the season when teams are trying to get healthy.

However, the Rams do have two home games on primetime which is something that all Rams fans will like to hear. The first being week 6 at home against the 49ers on Monday Night Football on ESPN and the next being a Thursday night game against the Cardinals on NFL Network.

Coincidental or not, for the third straight year and fourth time in five years, the Rams will close out the season in Seattle against the Seahawks. It looks like that may just become a tradition.
