The St. Louis Rams are pulling out all the stops to keep pace with the high-powered Green Bay Packers offense.
Down 21-10 late in the third quarter, facing a 4th-and-2 from their own 43-yard line, the Rams elected to put the ball in the hands of Johnny Hekker on a fake punt.
It wasn't pretty, but the fourth-year punter was able to find defensive back Cody Davis for a 20-yard gain.
The effort was all for naught, however, as the Rams would miss a field-goal attempt on the ensuing series.
