    <h3>Winless Rams face Cardinals</h3>



    Arizona (2-2) at St Louis (0-4) Sunday 1:00 pm EDT

    ST. LOUIS (Ticker) - The reeling St. Louis Rams aim for theirfirst win of the season Sunday when they face NFC West rivalArizona Cardinals.


    Expected to contend for a playoff berth in coach Scott Linehan'ssecond season, the Rams are one of three winless teams alongwith the Miami Dolphins (0-4) and New Orleans Saints (0-3).

    Looking for a spark, Linehan has decided to bench startingquarterback Marc Bulger in place of fellow veteran Gus Frerotte.

    According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Linehan told Bulgerthat he will sit for one or two weeks. Playing with a pairof broken ribs, Bulger has compiled just a 64.9 rating thisseason.


    Injuries have contributed to the slow start for the Rams, whohave not finished any game this season with the same startingfive offensive linemen.


    Pro Bowl running back Steven Jackson will miss his secondstraight game with a groin tear. The Rams also are expected tobe without veteran wide receiver Isaac Bruce, who has ahamstring injury.


    Due to all the injuries, the Rams have gone 30 possessionswithout an offensive touchdown.


    "We're looking for solutions," Linehan said. "What do you wantme to say? We haven't scored, we haven't executed, we've playedpoorly on offense."


    The Rams are 0-4 for the first time since 2002, when they openedwith five straight losses.


    In Ken Whisenhunt's first season as coach, the Cardinals arelooking for their first winning record after four games sincethey were 3-2 in 2002. They finished 5-11 that campaign.

    Whisenhunt continued to play his two quarterbacks - Matt Leinartand Kurt Warner - in last Sunday's 21-14 victory over thePittsburgh Steelers.


    Warner was the more effective of the two, completing 14-of-21passes for 132 yards and a touchdown. Leinart went 7-of-14 for93 yards.


    The teams split two meetings last season, each winning on theroad.
