Rams overcome listless offense to save their season
Alden Gonzalez
ESPN Staff Writer
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- For a third straight week, the Los Angeles Rams defense stepped up and the offense didn't do nearly enough.
The only difference was the outcome.
Facing the lowly New York Jets at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, the Rams overcame a listless offense to capture a 9-6 victory, snapping a four-game losing streak to improve to 4-5 on the season and keep their playoff chances on life support.
Quarterback Case Keenum avoided the costly turnovers and went 17-of-30 for 165 yards, but the Rams didn't score a touchdown despite getting into the red zone on three occasions.
They had the ball about a foot away from the goal line on their first drive thanks to a 24-yard run by Benny Cunningham, the Rams' longest this season. But a fumble and an incompletion prompted a 20-yard field goal.
They had it at the Jets' 7-yard line late in the third quarter, but they lost 13 yards -- largely on an offensive pass interference by wide receiver Brian Quick -- and settled for a 38-yard field goal.
