Rams notes: Fisher pays his respects to Joe Strauss

SEATTLE • After perhaps his best victory in four seasons with the Rams, coach Jeff Fisher’s thoughts were with Post-Dispatch columnist Joe Strauss, who died of complications from leukemia Sunday morning.

“I feel the need to start this on a somber note,” Fisher said following the Rams’ 23-17 victory over Seattle at CenturyLink Field. “I was informed just prior to the game that we lost one of our own in Joe Strauss.

“I want to offer our condolences to his family and all his friends, and to you (reporters). He was really great to be around for the last couple years.
