Defense helps Rams trim Redskins' lead to 17-10

After a three-and-out from the defense to start the second half, the Rams got on the scoreboard with a 52-yard field goal from Greg Zuerlein with 9:33 to play in the third quarter. The drive, which featured solid runs from Tavon Austin (16 yards) and Tre Mason (13 yards), stalled when tight end Lance Kendricks was called for false start.

The defense helped out again, forcing the game's first turnover when defensive end Robert Quinn knocked the ball from Matt Jones' hands and T.J. McDonald recovered near midfield.

Two plays later, the Rams faked the end around to Tavon Austin and scored on a 40-yard bomb from Nick Foles to Kenny Britt.
