In an intriguing storyline ahead of their upcoming matchup, the Los Angeles Rams are set to face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, with former Steeler Kevin Dotson now suiting up for LA. Dotson's impressive performance for his new team, coupled with his replacement's struggles, adds an extra layer of drama to this game.

Dotson, who currently holds the starting right guard position for the Rams, has made a significant impact since joining the team. According to Pro Football Focus, Dotson currently holds the highest grade among all guards in the NFL this season, boasting an impressive 85.3 grade.

Meanwhile, on the Steelers' side, Dotson's replacement, Isaac Seumalo, has struggled to match his predecessor's performance. With a grade of 63.8, Seumalo is hoping to build upon his best game of the year against the Baltimore Ravens just before their bye week.

As both teams prepare for their clash, the Rams hold a 3-3 record, coming off a convincing 26-9 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. Despite injuries impacting their running back depth, experts still give LA a strong chance of defeating the Steelers. NFL Pick Watch's aggregate expert picks predict the Rams as the favorite, with an overwhelming 83% of experts choosing them to win. Furthermore, the fan vote follows suit, with 85% favoring the Rams and only 15% supporting the Steelers.

This Sunday's game will undoubtedly be a crucial one for both teams, and all eyes will be on Dotson as he faces his former team. If Dotson maintains his exceptional performance level, it could potentially become a long-term storyline to follow throughout future seasons.

The Rams also made some recent lineup adjustments, signing defensive tackle Cory Durden to their active roster. Durden, who appeared in the Rams' Week 6 win over the Arizona Cardinals, will provide additional depth for the team. Additionally, the Rams signed defensive back Shaun Jolly to their practice squad.

As the kickoff approaches, the question remains: does Pittsburgh regret the trade? If the Rams emerge victorious, it's unlikely that this compelling storyline will fade away. All eyes will be on Dotson as he continues to prove his worth for the Rams, and the outcome of Sunday's game may determine just how significant this story becomes in the seasons to come.
