The number of tickets distributed for Sunday's Rams-Browns game in the 66,000-seat Edward Jones Dome was announced at 51,523. The number of fans actually in the stands Sunday was probably in the 40,000-to-45,000 range.
But they were a loud bunch, and Rams coach Jeff Fisher was thankful for it.
“The fans were great today,” Fisher said. “They helped today with respect to the false starts and the penalties and things like that. I’m sure they enjoyed watching Todd (Gurley) run.”
On a day when the two teams combined for 20 penalties for 173 yards, Cleveland was flagged four times for false starts and four times for offensive holding.
