Like ‘em or loathe ‘em, the Rams will be available on St. Louis television screens for the first two weeks of the regular season.
The run begins with their nationally televised road contest Monday against San Francisco, which is the nightcap of the now traditional season-opening “Monday Night Football” doubleheader shown by ESPN. It will be the finale of the Week 1 NFL schedule.
The contest is to be on in prime time on the West Coast, with a 7:20 p.m. start there. But that’s 9:20 p.m. in St. Louis, meaning it doesn’t figure to be over until after midnight in the Midwest.
