The Rams are Nashville, Tennessee bound for their first road game of the regular season, taking on the Titans at 10 a.m. pacific time (CBS/Parmount+) at Nissan Stadium in Week 2.

Ahead of the contest, here are 3 Keys to Winning for the Rams, presented by The Law Offices of Jacob Emrani (CallJacob.com).

1) Mitigate the impact of defensive tackle Jeffrey Simmons

Even in Tennessee's 20-12 loss to the Denver Broncos, the three-time Pro Bowler made his presence felt with four total tackles, one sack and four QB hits in last Sunday's game. He's an integral part of the Titans' defensive identity, so just like every week, it will be important to give quarterback Matthew Stafford a clean pocket to work with, especially on the interior.

2) Take calculated risks with pressuring rookie quarterback Cam Ward

Titans coaches this week praised Ward's calm demeanor in his NFL debut, and there's something to be said for that when he tied the Jets' Justin Fields for second-highest pressure rate faced by a quarterback in Week 1 at 50%, according to Next Gen Stats. That poise in the face of that pressure allowed him to make some impressive throws that should have the Rams' attention. Between that and carrying over the ability to make plays out of structure from his time at Miami (Fla.), not only will Los Angeles have to pick and choose its spots when it comes to bringing extra pressure, but also maintain rush lane integrity throughout Sunday's game.

3) Find an edge on special teams

Tennessee's special teams coordinator, John Fassel, is a name Rams fans are very familiar with. So, too, is Titans punter Johnny Hekker, who posted an effective 49.4 yards per punt in Week 1 against the Broncos. New kicker Joey Slye also came through, going a perfect 4-for-4 on field goal attempts. Other than drawing three penalties, it was a clean game for that unit against Denver. This is an experience coach and group, and it will take a disciplined approach in this phase for the Rams to win.
