Another big day for Todd Gurley?

Well folks Todd Gurley has arrived, now it’s a party. The rookie saw an expanded role last week as the starter, rushing for 146 yards on 19 carries. Gurley also showed veteran prowess staying in bounds and essentially taking a knee on his last few touches to ice the game. Needless to say, I am very excited to see him in action again today. Against Green Bay though, Gurley and the rest of the offense will need to perform for a full game rather than one half. The bulk of Gurley’s yards came in the 4th quarter. If the Rams can get him going early it will only help their chances.
