DETROIT (AP) - Steven Jackson's 25-yard touchdown run with 1:38
left lifted the St. Louis Rams to a 17-10 win over the Detroit
Lions, snapping their 17-game losing streak.
The Rams (1-7) avoided matching their worst start in franchise
history. They also ended talk about joining Detroit (1-6) as the
only teams in NFL history to have an 0-16 season.
St. Louis' key score came on a trick play. It lined up to kick a
field goal and had kicker Josh Brown throw a short pass to a
wide-open Daniel Fells, whose 36-yard reception gave the Rams a
10-2 lead in the final minute of the first half.
Detroit scored its only points on offense early in the fourth
quarter when Matthew Stafford had a 4-yard run and 2-point
conversion pass to tie the game. The Lions were credited with a
safety when James Butler returned an interception in and out of the
end zone.
