St. Louis is rolling against Seattle, who’ve looked more than a little bit mortal in their last 1.5 games. On this punt return, Tavon Austin signaled for a fair catch and distracted the Seahawks’ whole punt coverage unit while Stedman Bailey caught the ball and took off for the touchdown to put the Rams up 21-3.

If you recall, the Bears ran a similar trick play in 2011, but had the return touchdown negated by a phantom holding penalty.
