The St. Louis Rams have taken a 27-16 lead over the Washington Redskins with five minutes left in the fourth quarter, thanks to some gutsy play-calling from Steve Spagnuolo, some solid passing from Sam Bradford, and—most directly—two field goals from Josh Brown.
The centerpiece of the drive was a 4th-and-1 call from Spagnuolo near midfield; backup running back Kenneth Darby pushed through for the first down, and on the next play Bradford and wide receiver Mark Clayton took the Rams 30 yards to the Redskins’ 11.
