Truth be told, Todd Gurley’s first NFL touchdown probably should not have occurred.
“Should’ve been delay of game,’’ Rams coach Jeff Fisher explained Monday during his news conference at Rams Park.
Holding a 10-6 lead late in the third quarter, the Rams moved quickly from their own 12 for the touchdown. Two plays after a 20-yard pass from Nick Foles to Tavon Austin, the Browns’ Pierre Desir, the Francis Howell Central High and Lindenwood University product, was called for pass interference against Kenny Britt. That resulted in a 26-yard gain.
On the next play, Britt beat Desir and held the ball on a big hit at the goal line by Jordan Poyer.
