Trent Green's season debut: The 38-year-old Green, who gets the nod over Marc Bulger this week at quarterback, is making his first start since suffering a concussion while with Miami in Week 5 last season. The concussion was Grade 3 -- the most severe level -- and many thought it would be enough to send Green into retirement. But he's back for more.
Steven Jackson vs. Bills defense: Jackson is avergaing just 3.2 yards per carry in a Rams offense that has put up just 29 points in three weeks. It doesn't get much easier this week as St. Louis goes up against a sixth-ranked Bills defense, led by ...
...LB Paul Posluszny: The second-year player has been consistently good in his six career games (he broke his forearm early last season). Posluszny, along with veteran Kawika Mitchell, have spearheaded a Bills defense that has held opponents to an average of 93.6 rushing yards per game.
Buffalo's kick-return game: Last week rookie CB Leodis McKelvin was a stud on the kick-return team, notching 137 yards on five attempts. Roscoe Parrish, who shared return duties with McKelvin, is out four to six weeks with a thumb injury, so the Bills will rely on McKelvin again to be a threat on special teams.
