ST. LOUIS - Tight end Randy McMichael is convinced the St. Louis Rams will get their first win of the season on Sunday, when they host the Cleveland Browns.
McMichael is so sure of it that he has guaranteed a victory for the Rams, who at 0-7 are to the worst start in franchise history.
“We have nothing else to say - we are going to win the football game,” he said.
That might be bulletin board fodder for the Browns, who are well rested following their bye week.
The Rams are a team in turmoil and the emotions boiled over in last week’s 33-6 loss at Seattle. Quarterback Marc Bulger got into a heated exchange with coach Scott Linehan on the sidelines.
“I’m a little angry about things, embarrassed about things, frustrated about things,” Bulger said after the game.
The Rams have not scored a touchdown in eight quarters and lead the NFL in giveaways with 23, including 11 in the last two games. Bulger was responsible for all five turnovers against the Seahawks with three interceptions and two fumbles.
While the Rams are dealing with internal issues, the Browns are an improving team whose confidence is growing. Cleveland is only one game behind first-place Pittsburgh in the AFC North.
The Browns also are in the midst of a favorable schedule, playing back-to-back games against winless teams for the first time in franchise history.
