d Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Brandin Cooks just had a superb receiving game for the Los Angeles Rams in their fourth straight win Thursday night.The New England Patriots Los Angeles Rams Hats , meanwhile, are sitting at 1-2 and looking for answers at wide receiver as they get set to play the fourth game of Julian Edelman's four-game performance-enhancers suspension.Asked Friday if it is frustrating to see his receivers go elsewhere and have success, Tom Brady said, "Not really. I'm happy for those guys.""Usually when you leave it's because you get good opportunities in other places," he added. "I'm usually generally frustrated by football in general just because it's a frustrating sport. But I'm sort of happy for guys when they do well."Brady said he didn't watch Cooks catch seven passes for 116 yards and a touchdown in the Rams' win, saying only, "They have a good team. To be undefeated you have to be good."Through that Thursday game, Cooks, traded to Los Angeles for a first-round draft pick that turned into now-injured offensive lineman Isaiah Wynn, has 26 catches — two more than the New England wide receivers combined.Phillip Dorsett, Chris Hogan and Cordarrelle Patterson have combined for 24 grabs, 230 yards and three touchdowns. Cooks has almost twice as many yards, 452, as the Patriots, and has scored the one TD on Thursday.Amendola, who left the Patriots via free agency, has 11 catches for 100 yards, also for an undefeated team."He's a great friend. I'm happy for him and his opportunity," Brady said. "He's playing well. He was a great player for us. I have a great friendship with him and we'll be friends for the rest of our lives."New England acquired Josh Gordon from Cleveland in time for last week's game, but Gordon didn't suit up. Asked Friday if Gordon will play this week Los Angeles Rams Hoodie , coach Bill Belichick said, "We'll see."The Patriots have not lost three straight games since 2002. Last week, in the Sunday night loss at Detroit, they fell to 12-2 since '02 after a September loss. They are in the rare position of being two games behind someone - Miami - in the AFC East they seem to own by birthright.Does that make this a must-win situation?"These games are important. Division games, that's what it's all about, so . they're 3-0 and we're looking up at them," Brady said. "Obviously, we haven't played the way that we all think we're capable of playing, this is the next game, so it's going to be a great opportunity for us to go out there and see if we can put together four quarters of good football."He noted the key is the way his team starts the game. The numbers back him up: New England never trailed in the opening win against Houston but fell behind 14-0 at Jacksonville and 13-0 at Detroit, where the offense was invisible until the second quarter."You get behind 10 points or 14 points at the start of games and you're looking uphill all game," Brady said. "It's tough to win like that and we've done that the last two weeks. So we've got to try a different style this week and see if we can get ahead, see if we can play from ahead."Last week, Brady, who has thrown six touchdowns passes and two interceptions, was guilty of throwing a pick — he had two through 10 games last year, none in the first four — into double coverage, and also of an intentional grounding."I'd always love to play great," he said. "I don't always make great decisions out there. But I'm trying. You don't get awards for trying in the NFL, so we're trying to play better than we played last week."A video surfaced Friday of Brady doing teammate James White's touchdown dance Customized Los Angeles Rams Jerseys , the "Kodak Black," something Brady hopes to do Sunday."That's his move so he's trying to teach me something out there," Brady said. "He's pretty good at it, so I got a long way to go."White agreed: "He has a lot of work to do."So Brady said he was "going to be going home tonight and working on it - see if I can get in the end zone and do something special." Week 6 finds the Los Angeles Rams heading to Denver with sub-freezing temperatures and snow expected at Mile High Stadium. The Rams are coming off a narrow 33-31 escape at division rival Seattle in Week 5 while the Denver Broncos got their asses handed to them by the New York Jets, 34-16, allowing 323 rushing yards in the process. In a game where altitude and the elements figure to play a significant role, here are five Rams who will need to heat up to beat the Denver deep freeze.CB Marcus PetersPeters’ performance in Seattle left a lot to be desired. While questions remain about his strained calf, his gambling tendencies were exposed, as he was officially dinged for all three Russell Wilson passing TDs. Injured or not, his eyes were in the Seattle backfield and not on his man, and when they were, he was flagged for holding twice. To his credit, he’s owning it:Despite his obvious playmaking skills, Peters’ reputation as a “win some / lose some” CB a la Janoris Jenkins was on full display. At less than 100%, he lost a lot more than he won. Let’s hope his familiarity with Denver WRs Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders helps him get back on track Sunday, or the Rams could be in for another shootout.WR Cooper Kupp & WR Brandin CooksI know, 2-for-1 is a cop out, but these guys deserve to be mentioned here as they both missed practice on Wednesday while working through the concussion protocol. Kupp’s injury was apparently from hitting his head on the turf, whereas Cooks’ was downright scary as he appeared to be knocked out cold from a questionable hit by Seattle S Tedric Thompson. As of this writing, it looks like the Rams have a good chance at returning both players for Sunday’s game www.authenticslosangelesrams.com , which will sure make life easier for Jared Goff against the Broncos’ middle-of-the-road pass D. (Note: If either of these guys can’t go, WR Josh Reynolds would vault to the top of this list)RB Todd GurleyAs previously noted, Denver allowed 323 yards on the ground last week against Jets RBs Isiah Crowell and Bilal Powell. Is this finally the week Todd Gurley busts a long one?! A glorious flurry of snow and dreadlocks and Denver defenders flopping around like creamsicles?! Let’s hope so. He’s a safe bet to find the end zone a few times here, but I’m personally looking for Gurley to have one of those truly dominant games in terms of yards from scrimmage. In inclement weather, and facing the league’s 30th ranked rush defense, he very well could.CB Troy HillA surprise starter ahead of CB Sam Shields last week, 4th-year reserve CB Troy Hill performed admirably in Seattle as his 80.1 ranking by PFF was the highest of all Rams’ DBs. Now, as we all know, PFF rankings can be a tad misleading — this is likely more the result of Seattle’s penchant for throwing at Marcus Peters than anything Hill did or didn’t do. One thing he can’t do this week is body-slam a receiver for a bonehead personal foul call. Still, if Hill can contain WR Emmanuel Sanders (which is a tall order), he can contribute positively to Peters’ risk/reward ratio — and force Case Keenum and company into a more one-dimensional gameplan.DL Michael BrockersMuch has been made of the Rams’ iffy 18th-ranked rush defense, yet most of the finger pointing has been aimed at Aaron Donald, Ndamukong Suh and our LB corps. Not sure why Brockers is getting a pass here. The 7th-year pro is pacing slightly behind last year’s career high of 54 total tackles, and has tallied one sack on the season. He’s been solid thus far, but hasn’t made many splash plays — I expected him to be the biggest beneficiary of the Donald/Suh tandem, and that simply hasn’t been the case. If the Rams are to contain Denver RBs Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman on Sunday, a big day for big Brock would sure help.
