ST. LOUIS (AP) -- St. Louis Rams coach Mike Martz will miss the rest of the season with a bacterial infection of a heart valve that has already sidelined him for two games.
``This is very difficult for me to do,'' Martz said at a news conference Monday. ``But I know it's the right thing to do.''
Martz, who has one year remaining on his contract, expects to be back next season. He's 56-37 in his sixth season with the team, taking them to one Super Bowl and serving as offensive coordinator for the franchise's only championship after the 1999 season.
