This is the game that made me rethink this whole season replay. What a snooze-fest. They traded field goals until
less than two mintues in the game when Bulger found Kevin Curtis in the endzone to take a 13-6 lead with 1:30 left
in regulation. Boring game over, right? Of course not. After a short kick and 39 yard return by Josh Scobey,
Josh McCown came alive and led a last minute scoring drive, ending with a pass to Obafemi Ayanbadejo to tie this thing
up and send it to overtime, much to my disappointment. Lucky for me, the Rams took the ball and marched down to kick a
42 yard field goal and end this mess.
