Saturday August 14th is an exciting day for St. Louis football fans. Sam Bradford will be leading the charge for the Rams as the Minnesota Vikings come to town for the first preseason game of 2010. As for the Vikings, they seem to have a big hole at their quarterback position with King Favre contemplating retirement for a third time.

The Rams and Vikings last met at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis back in Week 5 of the 2009 NFL season. Brett Favre of the Vikings dominated the Rams secondary with a performance of 18 of 24 passing with 232 yards while throwing one touchdown and one interception.

The only real highlight for the Rams came when LB James Laurinaitis intercepted Favre in the 2nd quarter. The Rams had over 400 yards of total offense, but had four turnovers with three fumbles inside of the 20 yard line.

This matchup will be a test for Rams 1st round draft pick Sam Bradford. Bradford will hopefully be getting a lot of the reps in this Saturdays game. A strong performance by the Rams $50 million dollar man might earn him the starting job for Week 1 this upcoming NFL season.
