Rams force five turnovers, continue to dominate on defenseBy Alden Gonzalez
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Los Angeles Rams cornerback Trumaine Johnson leaped in the end zone, intercepted a pass from Arizona Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer and gifted the football to his father in the stands.
"And that second interception," Johnson said, "I gave it to my mother."
Johnson was referring to a catch he made near the sidelines in what ended up being the final drive in the Rams' 17-13 win from University of Phoenix Stadium. Officials initially ruled an interception after Johnson caught a pass from Cardinals backup Drew Stanton just before going out of bounds. But replay showed that the back of his foot might have touched the very edge of the sideline, prompting an overturned call.
Mom got the ball anyway.
"They’re not getting that ball back," Johnson said. "That’s my mom’s. She’s taking that back to Stockton with her. Seriously. Y’all know that was a pick. Come on now."
