The Rams plan to play rookie quarterback Sam Bradford for at least one full half on Thursday night against the Patriots. Bradford will start in place of veteran A.J. Feeley, who is suffering from a thumb injury. "I know the spotlight's on Sam right now and everybody's anxious to see him in there with the first group with Steven Jackson in the backfield," Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo said. "I'm just as anxious as you guys are."
