Sam Bradford has had an uneven NFL career, but the St. Louis Rams are committed to him as their quarterback.

Bradford's current deal doesn't run out until 2015 and he is owed $27 million.

Bradford wants to wait on a new deal for his production to merit big money. 

"We have decided that Sam Bradford is our guy. If they came to us and wanted to do a contract extension right now, we'd do it in a minute," Rams' president Kevin Demoff told Mike Silver.

The St. Louis Rams had their second best rated season opener in terms of television numbers in Week 1, but they drew their worst Week 2 rating in 19 seasons in St. Louis last Sunday.

The Rams fell behind 21-0 in the game before making the game competitive.

The Rams play this Sunday in Dallas, at noon, on the same station as last week.

The Atlanta Falcons defeated the St. Louis Rams 31-24 despite a late comeback from Sam Bradford.

Matt Ryan went 33-for-43 for two touchdowns, one a 81-yard connection to Julio Jones. Jones finished with 11 catches for 182 yards.

Steven Jackson had just three carries for zero yards leaving the game early with a thigh injury, though he did catch a touchdown pass to open the scoring in the first half.

Bradford went 32-for-55 for 352 yards, three touchdowns and one interception, doing most of his damage late in the game.

Robert Quinn had the NFL's best pass rushing performance in Week 1 outside of Cameron Wake.

With Chris Long and Quinn as their defensive ends, the St. Louis Rams have a strong pass rush.
