Pat Haden marched the Rams 96 yards for a touchdown on their second series to set the tone for a game that saw the Rams roll up 336 total yards. Haden threw for 146 yards and John Cappelletti rushed for 74 to spark a ball-control offense. Lynn Dickey broke his leg as he threw a pass on the last play of the game.
