The Rams, who turned the ball over once versus Seattle, have matched their win total from 2011 and can move above .500 after five games for the first time since opening 4-1 in 2006.

The sixth-round pick from Missouri Western State has converted all 12 of his field-goal attempts. He made four Sunday, including a franchise-record 58-yarder that he topped when he connected from 60 yards in the third quarter.

I believe the Rams will find a way late in this game to pull off the upset, to move above .500 in the 2012 season. Game will be on NFL network, as the Thursday Night Football match-up this week.
