EARTH CITY, Mo. -- Looking back at the turning-point play in the St. Louis Rams' 27-3 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday:
The situation -- Early in the third quarter, the Rams had finally managed to get some points on the board as kicker Zach Hocker booted a 35-yard field goal to trim Arizona's lead to 10-3. On the ensuing kickoff, Arizona returner Kerwynn Williams mishandled the ball and it went out of bounds at Arizona's 2.
Suddenly, a Rams team that had little spark in the first half found itself in position to get a quick stop to swing field position or potentially make a big play on defense that could turn the game on its head.
