Situation:
1st and Goal from the 2, 1:13 left in the 4th Quarter, down 21-17
Personnel:
11
Play:
Twins Right, Fake Gut, 922
Defense:
3-4, Double-barrel blitz, Cover-0
This touchdown from Sam Bradford to Austin Pettis capped one of the most impressive clutch drives we've seen from Bradford in a Rams uniform, and put the team in position to upser the mighty 49ers. Against a top-shelf defense bringing pressure up the gut, this play required - and got - perfect execution from the quarterback, running back, inside protection, and the wide receiver.

Wayne Hunter not surprised about the Jets’ drama
Former New York Jets and current St. Louis Rams tackle Wayne Hunter isn’t surprised at all at the drama that’s followed his former team.

Six signs of improvement from the Rams' Offense

Predictable questions resurfaced about Sam Bradford's ceiling and quiet doubts began bubbling up in Rams Nation.

This offseason, it was strongly rumored that the Rams were set to acquire WR Brandon Marshall.
