Rams vs. Falcons is here at St. Louis and quarterback Sam Bradford travel to Atlanta to take on a Falcons team looking to rebound from a Week 1 defeat at the hands of the New Orleans Saints.

St. Louis found new weapons last week and ended up beating up on the Arizona Cardinals, but it’s a much tougher task to travel on the road and take on a team as talented as the Falcons.

Here is everything fans need to know about the matchup.

Where: CenturyLink Field, Seattle, WA .

When:  September 15, 2013,  8:30 PM ET

Watch: NBC

Live Stream: NFL Sunday Ticket, Game Rewind

49ers Player to Watch: Anquan Boldin

Everyone knows about Colin Kaepernick, but teams better recognize Anquan Boldin. He came out last week like he was 25 years old. He was open all day long and Kaepernick kept feeding him. Expect Boldin to get that ball more and more.

Seahawks Player to Watch: Marshawn Lynch

Marshawn will need to step up in the game and make things happen in the ground attack. If he can take some pressure off of Russell Wilson, then this Seahawks offense will be flying.

Matchup to Watch: Anquan Boldin vs Richard Sherman

Boldin stepped up huge last week with his performance. He was open all day long. Richard Sherman will be looking to shut down that production on defense with his length and athleticism. Should be one of the best battles to watch on the field.

This game is tough to pick. The deefenses on both sides are stout and the offenses have that similar style of attack. Both teams are mirror images of each other. I expect the Seattle Seahawks to pull out the victory having that 12th man on their side.

Seahawks 24 – 49ers 17
