RamView game blog: Bears 37, Rams 13

The Rams are expecting their biggest crowd of the season today as they host the Bears, which probably means 25,000 Chicago fans. They've also got their shortest injury report of the season. Last week's players who were out - Robert Quinn, T.J. McDonald and Rob Havenstein - should all play. Among other things, that should help out a lot a pass rush that didn't accomplish enough last week. Late note: Wes Welker will be active.

(Updated) For the Bears, Eddie Royal and Matt Forte are out. Royal's absence ought to affect their screen game, and Forte's a very big missing piece on offense. Not that the Bears couldn't handle those injuries in San Diego, though. Alshon Jeffery is active but had a hamstring issue during the practice week. Won't hurt the Rams any if that slows him down. (2nd update) I also see Pernell McPhee on the inactive list, their leading sacker. That's a break.

Don't forget today's game has gotten the bizarre shift to CBS, so it'll be on ch. 4 locally. Announce team will be Andrew Catalon, Steve Beuerlein and Steve Tasker. I like Tasker; remember when he was announcing the Ravens-49ers Super Bowl all by himself during the power outage? I know Catalon best for an ill-advised ethnic joke during March Madness a couple of years ago. Um, especially calling a Chicago game, you'd best be careful with that...

Today's referee: FOR THE SECOND TIME THIS YEAR, JEFF FREAKING TRIPLETTE. Seriously? In nine f*cking games, we get the worst damn referee in the NFL TWICE?

The prediction: Triplette-officiated games tend not to go well for the Rams. They need to strike quickly to win the crowd noise battle, but quick strikes haven't been their specialty lately. Bears to at least cover the 7-point spread.

FIRST QUARTER
Away we go. The Bears win the coin toss and take the wind. That's quite the lack of respect for the Ram offense, though not completely unearned. Nick Foles will lead the Rams from their 20. OMG THE ROLLOUT PASS TO THE TE WORKED!!!! LB Willie Young ignored Jared to chase play-action left, and Cook slipped out all alone in the right flat and up the sideline for 29. Play-action again, Foles hangs in well but overthrows a very-open Brian Quick. Play-action yet again, and Todd Gurley slips out of the backfield all alone, cruises about 20 yards, HURDLES Antrell Rolle at the 25 and dives down to the 20 with a 31-yard gain! Big-play Rams! The play-action froze LB Christian Jones and he didn't slide over to pick up Gurley. Gurley cuts back for another 98 off blocks by Tim Barnes and a nifty cut block by Rob Havenstein. Gurley inside for another 5 behind mauling down-blocking left, especially Jamon Brown. First and goal, oh God, Nick, COME ON. It looks like a rollout right for Tavon Austin, who's well covered, but Lance Kendricks is open from the snap, wide open in the back of the end zone, and I swear Foles sees that but still throws the ball a mile over everyone's head out of bounds. He saw it and pump-faked instead. It would have been a cross-body throw, but really? The Rams signed a QB to an extended contract who can't make that throw? Major opportunity lost if the Rams don't punch this in.

Gurley and the line bail Foles out with a 6-yard TD. Rams 7, Bears 0 Greg Robinson flattened his man and Garrett Reynolds plowed his guy to make the draw to Foles look pretty easy. The Rams needed that fast start with a home stadium full of Bears fans.

80 yards in less than 3:00 with the Bears coming in saying they were determined not to let Gurley beat them. You cannot start much better than that. Tip of the cap to Frank Cignetti for recognizing that and burying the Bears in play-action. Cody Davis dives and trips Marc Mariani at the 10 - dumb idea to return that - and Jay Cutler will start at his 14. Jeremy Langford tries to bounce a middle run outside but Akeem Ayers gets him for a loss of 1. Michael Brockers stuffed up the middle to give the impatient rookie nowhere to go.

And, so much for that. The Rams INEXCUSABLY give up an 87-yard TD to someone named Zack Miller on a simple god damn flare route. Gregg Williams got caught blitzing. Ayers got on skates and slipped on Miller's cut back inside. Alshon Jeffery got a key block on Janoris Jenkins to spring him. Rodney McLeod also slipped and missed the tackle badly - what the HELL is with all the slipping out there? - Trumaine Johnson loafed getting there, expecting a tackle, and got surprised when Miller took off. He caught up with him at the Ram 40 but Miller felt him coming and cut away. TruJo couldn't grab him. Bye-bye!

Congratulations to the Rams for following their best start on offense this season with their shittiest single play all season. Clowns. 7-7

Starting over, then. Rams at their 20. Play-action drag to Austin gets only 1. We can quit trying that play already. Gurley gets stuffed for 1 after no one blocks Shea McClellin. No idea wtf Kendricks is doing back there if he's not going to lead Gurley into the hole. Foles hits Bradley Marquez on a 7-yard, 9-inch out route on 3rd-and-8. He ran the right route; Foles' throw made him come back a tick. The first official marks it short, but, viva Jeff Triplette, the ball's at the 30 by the time the refs put it in the middle of a field for a first down. No challenge by John Fox. Kendricks, Brown and Havenstein get Gurley a pretty big hole for 5. Bounce that outside and it hits big. Gurley stopped for 1 on 2nd down. Havenstein and Brown got pushed backwards and Kendricks couldn't clear the charging McClellin out of the hole. 3rd-4 brings in Wes Welker. He's open on a little dig route out of the slot but Foles well overthrew him. From everyone's reaction, Foles was expecting Welker to take that upfield instead of sitting down.

Just a 42-yard punt by Hekker, but Mariani continues an idiotic day by trying to field it and getting crunched by Marquez after the catch, and there should be no way that is not Mo Alexander's ball. It came right to him and he caught it. Yes, Mo comes out of the scrum. Turnover!

Rams at the CHI17. A nifty true reverse, Foles to Gurley to Austin, goes for a TD but is called back for a hold on Greg Robinson, who leads the league in holding penalties. Yeah, he held Young, for probably a millisecond. If eagle eyes Triplette is going to call that, we should be here all day. Back to the 27 we go. Now they end-around right to Austin off play-action. He beats Sam Acho around the corner and Kendricks leads him out for 12. Cignetti is emptying the playbook today. Overpursuit leaves the left side wide open for Gurley but Young saves a big play with a diving tackle. 3rd-and-7 at the 14. I don't know if Foles is underthrowing these or what, but Foles runs a 7-yard out and then comes back a yard for the catch to leave 4th-and-1. Maybe the Rams should start running these a yard PAST the marker? The Rams settle for 3 from Zuerlein instead. Steve Beuerlein explains Foles actually overthrew that toward the sideline and Welker had to sell out to get to it. Rams 10, Bears 7

Now let's maybe try to NOT give up a 90-yard TD. Davis and Chase Reynolds bury Mariani at the 12 as shorter kicks by Zuerlein are paying off so far. Langford pushes for 5 while Aaron Donald gets held by more than Robinson held earlier to cost the Rams four points. Call it, Eagle Eyes. Lots of time for Cutler to dump off to Langford, who beats James Laurinaitis for a 1st. Langford FALSE STARTS RIGHT IN FRONT OF FUCKING TRIPLETTE AND NO CALL, but Eugene Sims stays with the play and beats his block to stuff Langford for 1. Which reminds me, Robert Quinn did not start and I doubt he's been on the field yet. Good rush but Cutler hangs tough and hits Jeffery hitching in front of Jenkins for 11. Nick Fairley beats his man and trips Langford up for 1. Cutler rolls left and hits Miller, WHO PUSHED OFF McDonald to get open, for 7. CMON EAGLE EYES. 3rd-2 at the 42. Chicago's throwing, Laurinaitis gets close enough on the blitz to make Cutler change his arm angle and he overthrows Langford's out route. 4th down, Austin fair-catches the punt at the Ram 16.

Foles audibles to a handoff to Tre Mason, and that goes completely to shit when Mason fumbles trying to get extra yards. McClellin on top of it for the Bears at the 19.

The Rams are completely in find-ways-to-lose mode again.

McClellin got the strip and the fumble. Langford runs into Sims for a couple with Brockers again stacking up the line well. 4-man rush gets to Cutler late, and Cutler does his common chuck-it-up-for-Jeffery throw, which Jenkins undercuts to break up the pass with a near INT. 3rd-8. 3-man rush does not get there, Cutler scrambles, pulls up with plenty of running room and fires incomplete for Marquess Wilson in the end zone, covered by TruJo. Cutler was very close to crossing the LOS but I think he was just barely ok, with his back foot. Beuerlein disagrees with me and Triplette. Whoa, I'm on the wrong end of that argument. Robby Gould ties the game. 10-10

If every quarter is this eventful, the regular RamView recap won't be out till Thanksgiving. In Canada. Benny Cunningham is apparently under orders to fair catch everything today, Rams at their 20. Austin gets 10 off a pitchback counter, but it comes back for a blindside block on Jamon Brown. I didn't even know that was a penalty. I get how it might be a safety issue, but it's not like Brown lit up the guy. Great field position for the Rams to start the 2nd, 1st-20 from their 10.

SECOND QUARTER
Gurley runs into two Bears for 2. One of them shed Brown; the other tossed Barnes to the ground. 2nd down, Brown completely misses his assignment on a delayed ILB blitz, and Foles' Jeff Georgian run of awful passes under pressure continues as he chucks a ridiculous lob that misses a wide-open Marquez by a mile. I get it, Foles is under pressure on these throws. I also firmly believe half the QBs in the league at least would make these throws. No idea why, but the Rams call timeout before 3rd-and-18. What, to set up the inevitable draw play? Here's the awesome play they called timeout for: THREE Bears beat the Rams line on a 4-man rush and flush Foles into yet another wild throwaway. Brown lost a hand fight badly to give up inside pressure. Reynolds and Robinson gave up big inside pressure, with Robinson also getting beaten by a delayed stunt. Hekker blasts a 58-yard moonshot and the Rams hold Mariani to 3 despite Marcus Roberson getting blocked from behind. How 'bout that one, Eagle Eyes? No.

Bears at their 33. Cutler gets all day to throw an 8-yard slant to Martellus Bennett. 11 more to Jeffery on a smoke route. Kadeem Carey up the middle for 8 as Brockers got blasted out of the way. Jenkins gets off an outside block nicely and trips up Wilson on a smoke route short of the 1st. 3rd-inches. Hey, the CBS guys are not only on Lamarcus Joyner's side regarding the hit on Teddy Bridgewater last week, they say Teddy slid too late. Langford plunges but is held short by a hard hit by Ayers and I believe Will Hayes. The Bears go for it on 4th down, and with McDonald sucked in by play-action, the rollout pass to Langford works to perfection for 11. Sims fires in way too hard as the d-line gets walled off at LT to release Carey for 5. Miller's very open in the flat on a play-action rollout left; Jenkins trips him up a yard short. Not clutch D here as Carey cracks off another 6. Hayes was lined up inside, got double-teamed, and Gregg Williams had no one lined up at LDE. Gee. Guess where Carey went. Bears at the Ram 12. Chicago has to spend a TO to avoid a delay of game. Langford weaves for 3 on a draw. Cutler steps up from a 3-man rush and hits Langford at the 5. 3rd-2. Nick Fairley appears to save a TD by pressuring Cutler into a throwaway, but after the throw, Mark Barron makes his first play today one to forget by hitting Cutler helmet-first. That's a penalty all day long; naturally, Eagle Eyes does not miss this one. First-and-goal Bears at the freaking 3. No, somehow from the 5-yard line, half the distance = the 2.

Play-action, Daren Bates bites, and it's a TD to future f*cking Hall of Fame TE Zack Miller to put the Bears ahead. Bears 17, Rams 10

This is easily the Rams' most frustrating game of the season so far. They're killing themselves with find-a-way-to-lose stupidity against a team they should be beating like a pinata. Penalties and turnovers.

Cutler threw that TD pass back-pedaling with a Ram right in his face. Foles would have chucked the same throw 12 rows deep into the stands. Among other intolerable issues today, our QB is getting out-gutted by Jay Cutler.

Rams again at their 20 with 6:56 till halftime. Tracy Porter breaks up a pass for Kenny Britt. Porter breaks up an out route for Austin, and FUCKING ROBINSON WAS CALLED FOR FUCKING HOLDING ANYWAY. The guy was falling down on his own, why the hell are you yanking him down by his jersey? This is a technique issue for Robinson going back to his rookie season. Screen to Gurley picks up 11. Foles gets time on 3rd-9 and fires for Britt, who has to go down for it and lets it into his body and through his hands. Hekker pops it for 53, and a penalty by Chicago after the play will set them back. That was the Bears' FIRST penalty. I forgot to count the Rams' this week; I'm thinking eight.

Bears at their 14. Sims tackles Langford on an inside handoff for 3.

It is at this point that I am officially done with this god damn season. Gregg Williams brings 6. Cutler hits a simple screen pass to Langford. AND HE'S FUCKING GONE. 83 YARD FUCKING TOUCHDOWN. TruJo flattened out front by a nicely-done cut block at the 20. Jenkins pinned uselessly on the sideline by Jeffery at the 30. McLeod blocked downfield by Wilson for a good ten yards, then Langford embarrasses the shit out of him by faking him inside out and taking off untouched 50 yards down the middle of the field.

The Rams couldn't have shown up shittier this week if they were trying to throw the damn game. Screw this god damn team. Bears 24, Rams 10

I've had it. Gregg Williams is getting played like a fiddle by Marc Freaking Trestman. (NO, Adam Freaking Gase. Trestman is NEXT week in Baltimore.) The Rams are shooting themselves in the foot with so many penalties that Jeff Fisher HAS NEVER DONE ANYTHING ABOUT HIS ENTIRE TIME HERE that they have no leg left below their knees. This is not now, never was, and NEVER WILL BE a team built not even to win, but to even god damn play well, on a consistent basis. Screw this god damn team.

Still 5:00 to go. Sweep right to Austin for 3. Rams go no-huddle; Foles dumps to Gurley for 2 under heavy pressure. 3rd-5, just man coverage all over the field, no one remotely open and Foles fires a bad pass in Welker's direction. Well, Wes was the most open WR, but it's not like he was. Rams don't even hold the ball a god damn minute and a half without punting again. The only Rams who's shown up this week is Hekker, who hits it about 60, returned to the 20.

Good pressure by Hayes forces a quick pass; even better, Fairley drew an obvious hold. Make it 1st-19 from the 9. Carey left for 5. Donald nearly blows up a draw play but Carey escapes his grasp for another 6. MAYBE WATCH OUT FOR THE FUCKING SCREEN OR THE FUCKING PASS IN THE FLAT. Ha, they finally did. McLeod faked a blitz and floated out to take away Cutler's screen option. By the time he got off a play-fake to Langford, Cutler was already getting buried by unblocked Donald and Hayes. Austin brilliantly loses FIVE trying to sweep left with the punt return.

1:48, Rams at their 34. Will they cross the 40? Will they hold the ball more than 15 seconds? First, Austin limps off with a foot or ankle injury. Foles gets a lot of time on 1st but can only dump off to Cook, who can't get out of bounds, for a few. About a 3-yard pass to Britt. First down, but they're not getting a lot done. Foles floats another sideline pass too high, for Brian Quick this time. Could we maybe start calling some routes Foles CAN ACTUALLY THROW? Plenty of time again, but Marquez is blanketed. While that falls incomplete, FOLES IS HIT HELMET-FIRST BY YOUNG WITH NO CALL. Austin returns, but on 3rd-10, it's ANOTHER SIDELINE ROUTE, and Foles fires a fastball that Kendricks lets leak through his breadbasket incomplete. I have so had it with this whole fucking team.

The Rams are 1-FOR-SEVEN on 3rd down. 3 for their last 23. Obviously exhausted, Hekker shanks the punt but gets a lucky roll. Bears still have 0:42. They help the Rams out big-time by taking a knee instead of throwing a screen pass for an 86-yard TD.

HALFTIME ADJUSTMENTS
GET.
YOUR.
HEADS.
OUT.
OF.
YOUR.
ASSES!!!!

It's time to declare a national emergency at Rams Park. I'm pulling Foles for at least a series and letting Case Keenum try to run some no-huddle. Foles has been beyond useless, with Beuerlein pointing out almost all of his sideline throws are coming out late. The Rams are not going to get anything open downfield without keeping Gurley involved. His disappearance and Chicago's 2nd-quarter run are not coincidences. Gurley HAS to stay involved to set up play-action. And how about calling some damn routes over the middle of the damn field? The Bears have shut down the sideline.

What did last week's RamView say Gregg Williams had to stop last week? The inside handoff and the fucking quick screen. The Bears are mixing up their plays well, but Williams hasn't stopped either of those, and has gotten caught blitzing to give up two 80-plus-yard TDs. It's quite a contest for most useless Ram today; Williams is neck-and-neck with the leaders. Maybe he'll stop blitzing himself out of Chicago's favorite play in the 2nd half.

THIRD QUARTER
Just when you thought Ronda Rousey's coach did the worst coaching job of the weekend, the Rams show up. Touchback, then Ayers and Hayes start the half strong by stuffing a run. False start by Chicago NOT CALLED, but it's OK; Aaron Donald Aaron Donalds a draw play attempt for a loss. The man is insanely quick around the center. 3rd-10, WATCH THE SCREEN! No, Cutler has to rush a circle route that Langford doesn't know is coming. 3-and-out! Pressure by Donald again. Williams got a brain and did not blitz there. Austin returns the punt 9 to the STL45.

66 yards in 24 plays since the opening TD drive. Good, there's Gurley, left for 3 off a strong Robinson block. AND NO HOLDING! Kendricks is HELD on the dreaded rollout pass; Foles tries to chuck deep for Cook and it's out of bounds. Beuerlein says Cook was open a lot earlier and Foles missed him. 3rd down, great blitz pickup by Benny and a first down to Austin?................. No, it's HOLDING ON ROBINSON, which I would complain about more profanely if I could see it. Looks like Young, who is a BACKUP, btw, faked his ass out and he grabbed the middle of his shirt on the way by and turned him. The Rams don't have a credible move to make at tackle here. They need to bench Robinson's butt and they can't. But somehow I doubt the kid from Jamaica could be any worse, if he's even active today. Triplette has missed some highly visible infractions today to be seeing all these quickie holds by Robinson, btw. Foles hits Welker wide open over the middle for 15, but thanks to Robinson, that's still well short, and send in Hekker. Maybe he can pin the Bears inside the 10 and the Rams can give up a 90-yard TD today, too.

Decent kick starts the Bears at their 9. Quick out to Miller vs. Barron for 7. One of the most embarrassing defensive performances in St. Louis in many years rages on as CUTLER takes off for at least 25 on a keeper. Trestman (GASE) caught the Rams completely asleep with a read option and Sims chomped hard on the play fake. Carey rips off another 9 as Brockers and Laurinaitis get blocked out of the play without much of a fight, and it's time to start wondering if this team has quit. Another inside handoff to Carey gets the 1st down. Bears at the STL47. Screen to Langford, but the Rams were NOT blitzing and Brockers and Barron blew it up for a loss. 4-man rush flushes Cutler; Barron holds Langford to a short gain to set up 3rd-9. WATCH THE SCREEN! Jeffery false-starts to make 3rd-14. WATCH! THE! SCREEN! Ha, the Rams get Cutler with a 3-man rush. Donald joins Hekker as the only Rams to show up this week, beating the center again and sneaking behind the LG for the Rams' second sack.

Another 10-yard return by Austin starts the Rams at their 17. Gurley led out well by Havenstein and Brown for 9 off RT. Foles tries a weird back-shoulder bomb for Quick deep down the middle that Rolle breaks up. Beuerlein's basically, what the hell is Foles doing, at this point. Me too. KENDRICKS FALSE START ON 3rd AND 1. 14 TO WELKER, on a drag route out of trips with pick help. Gurley dodges a couple of tackles and has to fight just to get 1. Brown couldn't get to his man off the snap and Kendricks didn't really move his man on the edge. Gurley up the middle for 4; good chip by Kendricks on Acho. 3rd-5, Foles fires a fastball too high for Quick on a quick slant, but Brian makes an impressive full-extension grab on the run and takes off through the secondary for 36. Hey, Frank Cignetti has discovered pass routes that use the middle of the field!!! Flip to Austin, who breaks a tackle for 3. Rams at the CHI20. Foles throws a wobbler WELL over Quick's head at the goal line. The passing game looks so awful now it's hard to guess if these are bad throws or bad routes. Let's say both. 3rd-7. Foles hits Austin for what should have been a first down, but he bobbled the ball trying to put it away and lost it on Bryce Callahan's hit for yet ANOTHER DROPPED PASS. Fisher OF COURSE settles for 3. 24-13 'Cause the Rams are so likely to put together another two scoring drives.

Bears at their 20; WATCH THE SCREEN. First down on dumpoffs to Langford and Bennett. With confusion in the secondary before the snap, Langford streaks around right end for 23. Hayes got dominated and sealed by Kyle Long (!), and neither McDonald nor Lamarcus Joyner, the confused DBs, were where they were supposed to be to make a play. Donald and Joyner stuff Langford near midfield to force a 3rd-and-long to start the 4th.

FOURTH QUARTER
THE BEARS PITCH LEFT TO LANKFORD ON THIRD AND TEN AND THE RAMS GIVE UP 12 YARDS. 3/4 of the d-line can't even get past the center to pursue. Laurinaitis gets picked off but good by Bennett. Fairley gets out there but gets punked to the ground like a little bitch by Vladimir Ducasse, who sent him flying 6-8 yards, and then picked off Joyner.

I am so sick of this team.  

Carey bursts for 7 off a backup TE dominating Sims, down to the 23. Fairley does a Donald impression to blow up a Langford run. Blitz on 2nd-10, TruJo breaks up an attempted out pass to Wilson. Not under a lot of pressure, Cutler settles for a checkdown at the 19 anyway. Light pressure there by somebody wearing #94. Not sure I know that number. Chippie FG for Gould. 27-13

Huh, is Andrew Catalon a St. Louisan? He was sure dropping the Steamers trivia just now. Speaking of steaming things, here comes the Ram offense. They get called for a false start that looks like the same play that the Ram DEFENSE got called for last week. Beuerlein points out the Bears didn't cross the neutral zone. Still looks like an induced false start to me. Bubble screen to Austin off play-action for 4. Foles is hit late by a blitzer and overthrows a well-covered Quick near the far sideline. A stunt on the left side gets by Brown and Foles ends up scrambling and throwing a 4-yard pass to Kendricks.

And to turn this game into a complete clusterfuck, Hekker blows it on the fake punt. He had Marquez open off motion, pumped, and didn't throw, then went crossfield for Cody Davis but threw it poorly and too low for him to catch. Catalon proclaims the Bears were not fooled on the fake. No, that's a first down if Hekker makes the damn throw. McClellin was beaten, fooled by the action toward Marquez. Davis had a chance to run for a long way, given a decent throw. Tasker, the special teams guy, eventually straightens the other two out. Well drawn-up play and well-executed. Until the throw.

I am still so sick of this team.

Bears at the STL23. Barron stuffs a run, and on 3rd-8, TruJo thumps Jeffery on a quick slant to hold him to a couple. Hekker only gives up 3 with his lousy throw. 30-13

I still hate this team.

Ha, the Jamaican kid is in, except for Havenstein, who leaves with a calf injury. And, immediately, Foles gets sacked by THREE Bears. Blame useless Robinson first, who lost a hand fight to Lamarr Houston on the edge. Darrell Williams (the Jamaican) and Brown didn't handle a stunt properly at all on their side, so BOTH those guys piled onto Foles, too. That was at least the first sack they've given up. Skinny post to Marquez out of the slot for about 11 leaves 4th-and-6, which they're going for from their own 24. THEY RUN A GOD DAMN SQUARE IN TO QUICK THAT Porter breaks up anyway. IT WAS FOURTH AND SIX! WHY ARE YOU RUNNING, OR THROWING, A GOD DAMN THREE YARD ROUTE? Sure wasn't anything else open, I can say that.

Langford bursts for 12 or so down to the Ram 8 with no Rams getting off their blocks. Laurinaitis, Ayers, Hayes, all stoned at the line. I wish I was stoned right now. Donald gets Langford for a loss, and now here's Fisher adding to all our misery by starting to spend his timeouts. Langford scores EASILY from the 6 on 3rd-and-goal, cutting back a stretch handoff while Donald and Fairley get dominated up front and Laurinaitis can't even fight off a ONE-armed block of Matt Slauson. 37-13

Words cannot express how much I hate this team. I'm done here. Start your Ravens players in fantasy next week.

Cherry on top of the shit sundae. Foles gets picked off by Hall of Famer Young, who fools him by dropping back in coverage, a play I am hard-pressed to remember the Rams EVER fooling another team on. On the return, Jamon Brown gets his leg broken hideously enough that CBS won't replay the play. (Thank you.) Who the hell does that even put at guard now? I disappoint myself by having to go to the Rams online roster to remember Demetrious Rhaney. Much luck to you.

McLeod forces a late Carey fumble with a big hit, and Donald scoops it and returns it across midfield. Case Keenum enters the game about two quarters too late to usher this game to a deserving grave.
