THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- There was a time, Sammy Watkins admits, that this all would have played out a lot differently.
Watkins, the Los Angeles Rams' No. 1 receiver, was targeted only twice in Sunday's 35-30 victory over the Dallas Cowboys, with neither coming within the game's first 50 minutes. And he was totally fine with it, which is, well, unusual.
"Two years ago, it would've probably been different," Watkins said. "I would've probably gone to the media and been saying whatever, trying to get the coach's attention. That's how I used to do it back then.
