Kyle Boller could not go due to a thigh injury so rookie quarterback Keith Null was forced to start for the St. Louis Rams (1-12) against the Tennessee Titans (6-7) on Sunday, and he was obviously not ready to be a starting quarterback yet.  It was Null’s NFL debut, and he threw 5 interceptions that the Titans turned into 20 points.  Steven Jackson played through a sore back and wasn’t much help to Null.  He rushed for a season-low 47 yards on 19 carries.  Kenneth Darby did have a 51-yard run on a fake punt, one of the few good plays of the day for the Rams.

The Rams defense could not do anything against the Titans, and with the offense turning the ball over so much they were worn down early.  Even though Titans’ starting quarterback Vince Young left the game with a hamstring injury, the Rams couldn’t stop the Titans.  Young passed for 154 yards and a touchdown on 6/8 passes before leaving.  Kerry Collins came in for Young and picked up right where he left off, passing for 154 yards and a touchdown on 11/19 passes.  Chris Johnson did the most damage though, rushing 28 times for 117 yards and 2 touchdowns and catching 3 passes for 69 yards and a touchdown.  This was another ugly loss for the Rams.
