One of Chris Long’s favorite pictures was taken on Dec. 17, 2015. The Rams were playing host to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on “Thursday Night Football” at the Edward Jones Dome.
It was one of those “color rush” games, with the Rams decked out in bright all-yellow uniforms and the Bucs wearing bright all-red ones. Thus, some dubbed it the “Ketchup and Mustard Bowl.”
But that wasn’t the real significance of the game, not even close. Long and his fellow Rams defensive linemen posing in the photo knew it.
“It’s pretty rare before the game that you take the group pic, but I think we just had a feeling this was it,” Long recalled.
