Leading 14-7 with :04 seconds left in the first half, Rams receiver Ben Skowronek jumped over the Giants center to block a kick by Mason Crosby to preserve the touchdown lead. Skowronek celebrated, the Rams sideline went nuts, but it was all ground to a halt by the yellow cloth on the field. Skowronek was called for a rare “leaping” penalty, negating the block and letting the Giants get closer for a field goal re-try.
Crosby, who was on the Rams weeks ago, made the kick and cut the lead to 14-10. Will it change the outcome of the game?
