against the Saints when Saints running back Mark Ingram lost a fumble deep in his team’s territory in the second quarter of a 14-14 game.The Rams offense faltered http://www.authenticslosangelesrams.com/cheap-michael-brockers-jersey , however, and the team sent in the field goal unit for a try that never happened. Punter/holder Johnny Hekker tried to run for a first down and was ruled short on the field. Rams coach Sean McVay challenged the call and it was upheld because, per NFL officiating head Al Riveron on Twitter, “no obvious visual evidence to overturn the on-field ruling that the runner was short of the line to gain in #LARvsNO, even after piecing together multiple angles.Sean McVay is sure to face questions about passing on a chance to get three points when the game is over, but his team’s ability to find a way to come up with more stops will have more to do with the final score.After Hekker’s run, Drew Brees capped an 88-yard drive with a touchdown pass to Tre'Quan Smith and Greg Zuerlein missed a 51-yard field goal on the next Rams possession. Brees led a quick drive and hit tight end Benjamin Watson from 13 yards out to extend the lead to 28-14 in the second quarter.The Rams got the ball back with a chance to cut into that lead, but Jared Goff was intercepted by Alex Anzalone and the Saints made it back to the end zone for a fifth time in the first half when Alvin Kamara scored on a short run. That made three touchdowns for Kamara and 21 straight points for the Saints.A couple of completions got the Rams in position for a field goal that made it 35-17 at halftime White Andrew Whitworth Jersey , but they’ll need some more touchdowns to come back against a team that’s scored more against them in a half than any team scored all game. Ezekiel Elliott and the Dallas Cowboys failed in their first attempt to wrap up the NFC East by losing to Indianapolis when the Colts badly needed a win for their playoff chase.Now the NFL's rushing leader and his teammates will try again Sunday, this time facing an opponent with nothing on the line a week after Tampa Bay was eliminated from postseason contention with a loss in Baltimore."I think everyone in this locker room understands how important this game is," Elliott said with Dallas coming off the franchise's first shutout loss in 15 years . "I think it would be kind of beating a dead cow to come in here and harping on what happened last week."Jameis Winston and the Bucs (5-9) are putting the wraps on a strange year that began with the quarterback's personal-conduct suspension, followed by his inability to keep the job once Ryan Fitzpatrick cooled off.Fitzpatrick's struggles gave him another shot, and Winston is set for his fifth straight start, the longest stretch for either QB this year."Even though we're out of contention, it still feels good to win," said receiver Mike Evans White Brandin Cooks Jersey , a bright spot for an offense that had little trouble churning out yards but often didn't turn them into points. "Christmas is coming up. It'll be good to have Christmas sitting on a 'W.'"The Cowboys (8-6) just want to end their division race.Dallas ran off five straight wins to earn the enviable position of needing one victory in the final three games to reach the postseason for the second time in three seasons with Elliott and quarterback Dak Prescott, the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year on a playoff team two years ago.Moving the ball wasn't a problem for the Cowboys in the first half of the 23-0 loss to Indianapolis, but they squandered several scoring chances. A defense that has carried Dallas most of the season had the bigger letdown in the second half.The Cowboys can win the division with another loss if Washington and Philadelphia lose. They don't want to go there."Guys were excited to get back there and get rid of that last game and kind of build from scratch and kind of build our swag back," said cornerback Byron Jones, who was voted to his first Pro Bowl this week. "I know we're going to come out feisty and fierce."Things to consider as the Cowboys try to build on a 9-1 home record in the series with the Bucs, 11-1 if you include two playoff wins in the 1980s:RACE IS ONElliott and Todd Gurley of the Los Angeles Rams have been locked in a duel for the rushing lead for several weeks. Elliott, the 2016 rushing champion as a rookie, extended his lead despite the Cowboys' paltry showing at the Colts. He's 98 yards ahead with two games left White Cory Littleton Jersey , and also leads in yards from scrimmage.DECEPTIVE NUMBERSThe Buccaneers have thrown for 4,464 yards, fourth-most passing yards through the first 14 games in NFL history behind the 2013 Broncos (4,713), 2000 Rams (4,706) and 2011 Saints (4,639). They've dropped from first to third in total offense (416.6 per game) over the past two weeks after leading the league for much of the year.Although they still have the No. 1 passing attack (318.9), that hasn't translated into scoring enough points to win consistently. The Bucs are 12th in points scored (24.6) and 30th in points allowed (28.8).EASY ON LEEIt would be putting it mildly to say the Cowboys eased Sean Lee back in after the linebacker missed five games with his second hamstring injury of the season. He played seven snaps against the Colts. The emergence of rookie Leighton Vander Esch and Jaylon Smith is the primary reason http://www.authenticslosangelesrams.com/cheap-lamarcus-joyner-jersey , although the defense played poorly enough last week that perhaps more playing time for Lee is warranted.EVANS' BANNER YEAREvans has 74 receptions and is closing in on Tampa Bay's franchise record for receiving yards in a season. One of just three receivers in league history to begin a career with five consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, Evans has 1,328 yards through 14 games. He needs 95 to break Mark Carrier's club record of 1,422 from 1989."Hopefully I can get it," said Evans, who has seven 100-yard games this season. "This week hopefully. If not, then next week."LOOKING TO RETURNDallas right guard Zack Martin http://www.authenticslosangelesrams.com/cheap-johnny-hekker-jersey , who has now made the Pro Bowl in all five of his seasons, practiced Thursday for the first time since aggravating his left knee injury two weeks ago in a win over Philadelphia that pushed the Cowboys to the brink of the division title. He sat for the first time in his career against the Colts.If Martin returns, the Cowboys will have to decide between Xavier Su'a-Filo and rookie Connor Williams at left guard. Su'a-Filo went to the hospital in Indianapolis after getting poked in the eye by teammate La'el Collins. The eye is improving, and he was a full practice participant Thursday.
