Rams wide receiver Allan Robinson will be hoping to continue his improving form for the clash with the Buccaneers: “It’s just about building,” he explained. “I think that’s the main thing. Some weeks when you don’t have the outcome that you may want, you’ve got to correct some things and try to build on a positive. But again, a game like that, we can go watch the film, take some things from it and continue to use this as a building block for us moving forward.”
