Pat Haden Returns to Rams QB Role in Monday Game
Pat Haden, the 24 year old Rhodes scholar, will start again for the Los Angeles Rams against the Minnesota Vikings with Joe Namath benched. Namath, nursing a swollen knee, saw limited practice and the coaching staff cited mobility differences as a factor in the decision. Knox said Haden played well Sunday, leading a 14 7 victory over New Orleans, while Namath remains backup despite being healthy to start. The Rams, 3 2, have won the NFC West the past four seasons and Namath’s recent start produced a late success and a Bears upset.
