The Rams (3-6) finished a 15-point setback at Carolina without quarterback Sam Bradford, done for the year with a left knee injury. They were tantalizingly close in their first Monday night home game since 2006, just 1 yard shy of the winning touchdown against Seattle. Last week they tied it late in the fourth quarter against Tennessee, turned it over and surrendered the deciding score on consecutive plays, then ran out of downs at the Titans 26 in the final minute.

ST. LOUIS (AP) ? Softening the blow, Jeff Fisher reminded St. Louis Rams players that 11 other teams lost on Sunday.
"Some of the games ? pretty much all the games ? have been hard to go home without a win," rookie outside linebacker Alec Ogletree said. "Every week you come out and try to eliminate the mistakes, and get better."
Ogletree last played for a losing team his freshman year at Georgia. The Bulldogs were 6-7 but surfaced from a 1-4 start and went to the Liberty Bowl as a .500 team before losing to Central Florida.
But they're far from a beaten group. Exasperated, maybe.
Quinn is still aiming high. Real high.
"If we can play our best, I think we'll come out with the W."
"You can lose games and can say we've got a lot to improve upon and lose games where you can say your best was probably not good enough," Pettis said. "I don't know if we've played our best game,David Njoku Jersey, but we've definitely played well enough to be in there.
