This game is not critical

As long as the second seed is any type of possibility, although remote, then this is an important game. Stranger things have happened and if by one chance in a hundred the Rams win next week AND we lost, we would be lamenting the loss big time.
Drew and Payton will also be focused, even if they won't admit it, on getting the Marino record tonight. That in itself should make for a wide open and high scoring game.
