Keep your eye on ...
Atogwe all over the field: Becoming an elite playmaker this season, Rams CB Oshiomogho Atogwe has four interceptions, two forced fumbles and a touchdown on a fumble recovery. He will be looking to take advantage of an increasingly error-prone Brett Favre, who has thrown eight interceptions and fumbled five times in the last four games.

Jones' scoring touch: It's not unusual for Thomas Jones to hit the end zone any more. He has five touchdowns in his past four games after scoring just three in his first 20 games with the Jets. The Rams have allowed an NFC-high 12 rushing touchdowns, so Jones is in prime position to continue his hot streak.

Jenkins vs. Jackson: Defensive tackle Kris Jenkins was a dominant force in New York's win over Buffalo, finishing with five tackles and two sacks. He was a big reason why the Jets held Marshawn Lynch to just 16 rushing yards. If he can help shut down Steven Jackson and make the Rams one-dimensional, it could be a long day for Bulger.
