Rams, Chiefs Meet In St. Louis

The Rams and Chiefs will do battle on the turf in St. Louis tonight for the Governor’s cup. This will mark Dick Vermeil’s second trip to the Dome since stepping down as the Ram’s head coach after Super Bowl XXXIV. Tonight’s match-up will mark the fifth time the Chiefs and the St. Louis Rams have met for the Governors Cup. The Rams won from 1996-1998 and were victorious in 2001 when the series resumed. Last year, the Chiefs came away with a 23-16 win, their first pre-season victory over the Rams since coming to St. Louis. It was a different story when the Chiefs played the Cardinals. From 1968-1987, the Chiefs and Cardinals met 20 times, with Kansas City winning 13, St. Louis winning 6 and in 1971 they tied.
