The game
was much closer than the score shows. The Rams held a 10-0 lead
after a first half that saw Cade McNown being intercepted while
in the red zone and a Jason Elam blocked field goal attempt. But
Darrick Vaughn returned the opening kickoff of the second half
99 yards to reduce the lead 10-6, as the snap for the extra point
was fumbled.
While Nedney
had two more field goals in the second half, McNown was victim
of another interception and fumbled on St. Louis 8-yard line to
give the win on a silver platter.
