Robert Woods, not Sammy Watkins, is the Rams' alpha at WR

LOS ANGELES -- Sammy Watkins was seemingly acquired to be the Los Angeles Rams' No. 1 receiver, but he'll tell you someone else has taken on that role.

"For me, it’s Robert Woods who’s leading this group," Watkins said after Sunday's 33-7 win over the Houston Texans. "The way he practices, the way he plays the game, the way he does everything moves this wide receiver group. He’s a pro. I had to push my game up the way he was competing. That’s what all of us are doing.
