NFL 2021 competition - Rams win it all

[Pies4shaw]

Rams had to punt. 4 seconds and a kneel down takes us to halftime. Rams lead 13:10. Beckham Jr is “questionable to return” with a knee. Looked like he reinsured that ACL to me.

[Pies4shaw]

Bengals lead 20:16.

[Pies4shaw]

End of the third. Rams have it. 2nd and 5 at their own 47. They still trail 20:16.

Burrow found Higgins with an 80 yarder for a TD on the first play out of scrimmage in the second half and then the Bengals intercepted Stafford but could only manage a field goal, despite good field position from the turnover. The Rams defence started to overwhelm the Bengals’ offensive line in the last few minutes of that quarter, sacking Burrow 3 or 4 times.

The Rams will punt from midfield after Jefferson drops a pass he should have caught.

[Pies4shaw]

11.47 to play. Bengals punt it away. Burrow is injured - right knee, I fear.

[Pies4shaw]

Rams 3 and out. Burrow looks like he’s ok. He’ll start around his own 15. Just a whisker under 10 minutes to play.

[Pies4shaw]

2 first downs. 1 running, 1 passing. But then a pass for a loss. Bengals 2nd and 13. 2 runs and Mixon gets back the loss. 3rd and 9. And a bad drop by Boyd costs the Bengals and they punt it away. Stafford will have it at about his own 22.

[Pies4shaw]

Rams looked like they were stopped but they have kept driving after a 4th and 1. They’re at the Bengals’ 8 with a first and goal. 2 minute warning. Rams pushing for the lead.

[Pies4shaw]

1st down. Stafford tosses it past the end zone, missing an open receiver..

2nd down. Incomplete.

[Pies4shaw]

3rd down. Incomplete- but it’s a hold on defence. Half the distance to the goal. 3rd and 4. Kupp catches the TD!

[Pies4shaw]

No, a could by each team. Repeat 1st and goal.

[Pies4shaw]

Another defensive PI call. 1st and goal at the 1. Rams are going to win this.

[Pies4shaw]

Stafford tries a QB sneak. Gets half a yard and forces the Bengals to take a timeout.

[Pies4shaw]

Kupp catches a TD this time. Rams by 3. 1 m 25 to go. Burrow must get at least a field goal.

[Pies4shaw]

Burrow will start at his 25, with two timeouts and a minute and 25 seconds.
