Monday night the Rams take on the 49ers in St. Louis, and this is the first meeting between the two teams this season. The Rams are looking to break their current two-game losing streak as the 49ers are trying to continue their streak after coming off of a win against the Chiefs last weekend.

The Rams will be honoring the greatest show on turf team Monday night in St. Louis. They will also wear the throwback uniforms the team won the year they won the Super Bowl in 1999. Here are five players to watch for the Rams
Tavon Austin- Austin has gotten off to a slow start this season. He has hardly been a factor in any of the four games the Rams have played thus far. He had also hurt his MCL in the second game of the season against the Bucs. Fisher has said Austin should be at 100 percent against the 49ers.
Robert Quinn- Robert Quinn has yet to have a sack this year. He had 19 sacks last year. Quinn set high expectations for himself, and many others did too this season. On the big stage for Monday night football, we will see if the game allows for Quinn to get his first sack.
Austin Davis- Quarterback Austin Davis has been a pleasant surprise for the Rams at QB he is coming off of back to back 300+ yard and three touchdown games. The 49ers defense will be the toughest he has seen, thus far, in the season.
Brian Quick- Quick is averaging about 80 yards per game and has three touchdowns in the season already. He is slowly looking like the receiver the Rams had taken so high in the second round of the 2012 draft. He will be a player to watch on MNF.
Zac Stacy- Stacy injured his calf last week and had to leave the game in the loss to the Eagles last week. The team said he was a full participant in practice this week and will look like a full go. The 49ers possess one of the best rushing defenses in the league so Stacy will have to play his best.
Also look for the Rams run defense they are at the bottom of the league in run defense and have vulnerable to Frank Gore in the past. Gore is coming off of back to back 100 yard games. It will be interesting to see if the Rams can slow him down.
