Rams remain unbeaten

Rams beat Browns to improve to 6-0The St Louis Rams, who entered the season as the NFL team with the most losses in the 1990s, remained the only unbeaten team this season with a 34-3 victory over Cleveland on Sunday. Kurt Warner threw three touchdown passes - two to Roland Willliams - and Marshall Faulk, after spending the previous night in a hospital because of the flu, had 133 yards rushing on 16 carries, with a 33-yard touchdown. The expansion Browns were no match for a team that has made a remarkable transformation after entering the year 45-99 for the decade. The Rams (6-0) led 14-0 before the Browns (0-7) had run an offensive play and it was 21-3 at halftime. Warner, so lightly regarded before Trent Green's season-ending knee injury in August that the Browns had a shot at him in the expansion draft, hiked his league-leading touchdown pass total to 18. He was 23-for-29 for 203 yards.
