The Los Angeles Rams don't yet know if they'll be facing quarterback Joe Burrow in Week 3 as he battles a right calf strain. What the Rams do know is the uniform matchup between them and the Cincinnati Bengals for a Monday Night Football tilt. 

For the first time this season, the Rams will don their royal blue jerseys in Week 3, after wearing white uniform tops in consecutive weeks to open the season. It's not yet clear what color pants the Rams will wear, as they wore three different with the royal blue tops last year; matching royal blue, yellow and the off-white shade they refer to as "bone."

This will mark the first of seven times Los Angeles is slated to wear their royal blue tops this season. The Rams will wear their "bone" alternate tops next week against the Indianapolis Colts, but that's the only time in the next five games that Los Angeles isn't wearing royal blue tops. 

Meanwhile, Cincinnati will counter with their popular all white uniforms. That will include the matching white tiger helmets that the Bengals introduced in 2022, once the NFL ditched its controversial one-helmet rule. While the Bengals did wear the white jerseys in Week 1, they did so with their primary orange helmets and black socks. This will mark the first time in 2023 that they've worn their "primetime white" look. 

The 0-2 Bengals are currently listed as 2.5-point favorites over the Rams at home. However, if Burrow is unable to go and backup Jake Browning is under center for the Bengals, that line would seemingly shorten. Perhaps given the pleasantly surprising start that the Rams have had, they would even become road favorites over the Bengals if Burrow is inactive. 

Rams-Bengals -- set to start at 8:15 ET -- will be the second of two Monday Night Football matchups in Week 3. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are also slated to host the Philadelphia Eagles in a matchup of 2-0 teams, with kickoff set for 7:15 ET.
