Jacksonville Jaguars 23, St. Louis Rams 20 in OT
The Rams played their best game of the season yesterday which is pretty odd when you consider that were out yarded 492-262! But they made big plays when they needed them forcing this game into overtime before falling once again yesterday. Marc Bulger was efficient in this game as he completed 22 of 34 passes for 213 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 INT. Steven Jackson was busy in this game as he carried the ball 16 times for 50 yards (3.1 ypc) and he also caught 6 passes for 78 yards (13.0 avg). WR Donnie Avery only caught 1 pass in this game but he made it count as it went for a 17 yard TD. The Rams finished up with 262 yards on offense in this game (55 rushing, 207 passing) despite only having the football for 24:48.
The Jaguars had possession of the football for an amazing 42:12 in this game but they still had to fight to the bitter end to beat the Rams because of the bend but don’t break defense they were playing. Safety Oshiomogho Atogwe led the way for the Rams in this game with 10 tackles and 1 pass defensed. Rookie linebacker James Laurinaitis was also very busy in this game as he had 5 tackles, defensed 1 pass, hit the opposing QB twice and he picked off a pass. DE Leonard Little was living in the Jags’ backfield in this game as he finished with 3 tackles, 1 sack, 1 tackle for a loss, had defensed 3 passes, hit the opposing QB twice and he intercepted a pass that he returned 36 yards for a TD. The Jaguars finished up with 492 total yards of offense in this game (166 rushing, 326 passing). The Rams are now 0-6 on the season but they at least showed some life yesterday.
