RAMS WEEK 9

  Midway through the third quarter of Sunday’s 28-21 loss to the Tennessee Titans, the Rams appeared headed for their third home victory of the season and a positive start to the second half of schedule. Instead, the Rams were saddled with their first loss of the year when holding a second-half lead.

            The loss  gave standout performance from rookie RB Zac Stacy who made the team’s first two rushing touchdowns of the season. In just his fifth NFL start, Stacy surpassed 100 yards on the ground for the second straight game, finishing with 127 yards on 27 carries. Included in his day was a 32-yard run that set up a game-tying, 10-yard touchdown pass to TE Jared Cook with 6:15 remaining in the fourth quarter.

            

QB Kellen Clemns keyed the Rams’ early success offensively, as he started the afternoon by completing his first seven passes for 75 yards. He finished the game 20 of 35 passing for 210 yards and a touchdown, and completed passes to seven different receivers. The lone blemish on the day for Clemens was a fourth-quarter fumble that led to the Titans’ game-winning drive. For the second straight week, Clemens led a last-minute drive into scoring range, but saw his final pass of the day glanced off WR Austin Pettis’ hands in the corner of the end zone.
