OK, even if the Rams stop Tim Hightower and the Arizona running game, it doesn't guarantee they will slow the league's third-ranked offense. But if Hightower runs free as he did five weeks ago in the Edward Jones Dome, St. Louis has no chance. Since his 109-yard outing Nov. 2 against the Rams in his first NFL start, Hightower has rushed for only 85 yards on 42 carries. Even so, Hightower remains a red zone threat; his nine rushing touchdowns are a league high for rookies. And rest assured, the Big Red will try to revive their running game against the Rams. After missing the past four games with a broken foot, Chris Draft makes his first start at middle linebacker for St. Louis. Draft doesn't run as well as some of the Rams' other linebackers, but he is a physical presence and more of a collision player.
