The reigning Super Bowl champions are a week into their preseason, and they are already off to an undefeated start.
In the first week, quarterback Bryce Perkins passed for a pair of touchdowns and rushed for a touchdown as the Rams won 29-22 against the Chargers, though most of the starters on both sides of the ball sat in the victory against their fellow Los Angeles team.
Perkins will be a name to watch, especially given concerns over Matthew Stafford's health and the depth at quarterback for Los Angeles, as the Rams take on the Texans in their second preseason matchup of the season.

While Stafford won't play against Houston, Texans starter Davis Mills might get some action in his second game of the preseason. He played in the opener against the Saints and completed all three passes for 14 yards, though Jeff Driskel handled most of the action under center in the 17-13 win.
Here's everything to know about the NFL Week 2 preseason game between the Rams and the Texans, including the start time and TV schedule for the preseason.
