"I would say the biggest thing is his confidence," Woods said. "You see it at practice, you see it in games and we just have to keep it high. There's really no stopping him when he's feeling himself and feeling good."

Woods is one of the skill players who has helped Goff develop that sense of confidence, along with many of the club's offseason — and in Watkins' case in-season — additions. And seeing success both on the practice field and in games has built trust and belief in one another.

"I think the whole team is feeling pretty good right now. We're very grounded and understand we need to get better, but we believe in each other. I think that's the biggest part of it," Goff said. "I believe in Sammy, Sammy believes in me — and vice versa with every receiver on the team and the O-line. And I think that's the most important thing. I think you can build that confidence through, like I said, success on the practice field and success when communicating and stuff like that."

While the team may be feeling good, it's not like anyone is content with being 2-1. It wasn't long ago the Rams held that same record after three games.

"We started off 3-1 last year and saw the way that went, so it doesn't mean much," Goff said. "It means we started off well, but you break the season into quarters. And if we are able to finish this one with the win, it would be a good quarter for us and [we'll] be ready to go for another good second quarter — [that] is the plan. But right now we're just focused on going out there Sunday and playing as best we can."
