St. Louis Rams' losing streak reaches 16 games

[JonLP24]

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — For a few brief moments Sunday afternoon, sunshine broke through the dark cloud that has been hovering over this franchise for a full calendar year.

Rams defensive end Leonard Little pawed at the short pass in the flat intended for Jaguars fullback Greg Jones, and then got the football fully in his grasp. He sprinted to the end zone and dived in for a dramatic touchdown just before quarterback David Garrard could knock him out of bounds. Josh Brown's extra point gave the visitors a 17-13 lead with a mere 4 minutes 36 seconds to play at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium.

"You're thinking, 'It's about time something good happened for us,'" tight end Randy McMichael said. "A guy like Leonard, who's out there sick and the oldest guy on this football team, and he just makes the biggest play of the year for us.

Little's 36-yard interception return was the kind of play that can change a game, even change a season.

Happy anniversary, Rams Nation. Today marks the one-year anniversary of the team's last victory — a 34-14 triumph over Dallas on Oct. 19, 2008.

1. "Rams Nation"?

That'd be more like a "Special Administrative Oblast" or something. :eyes:

2. You like to pick on the smallest kid on the block?

What a bully.

If you want to hate on somebody, how bout the Cheatriots??

3. I was just posting news

Actually it's no surprise the Rams are playing like this as they're purposely rebuilding. This off season they let go of Orlando Pace, Torry Holt, Drew Bennett, Trent Green, Corey Chavous, Anthony Becht, La'roy Glover, Brian Leonard, Pisa Tinoisamoa, Chris Draft, many more(in fact I think they went overboard) and recently Will Witherspoon. Plus they have a new head coach so none of this is no surprise and anything better would've been a surprise. I sympathize with them rather than being a bully and here I am defending the Rams.

I was really posting the article to slam the Cowboys after some of their fans slammed the Redskins for losing to the Lions but more importantly just posting news as I often do here.

5. I think you are a year late in slamming the Cowboys and their fans.

It was all over this forum last year.

Hence the big deal made by Cowboys fans at the Redskins losing to the Lions.

:D

6. My point was it is the one side of the end of a long losing streak

Like I said though, it's just news.
