St. Louis Rams – Performances of Note

Austin Davis, QB: -3.6

Breakdown: Davis’ fourth red grade in five games came largely by a tailing effort that saw him hit a high with a beautiful seam shot for a long score to tight end Jared Cook late in the first half and then sink to a low with a three-turnover fourth quarter that effectively flipped the game. While the second interception he tossed was at most a bit off-target, leading to a tipped ball, the first was a poor effort that fell short of his receiver who was working on a corner route.

Signature Play: 2Q 2:01, Davis dropped in a perfect pass to his tight end who had gained position up the seam, hitting him in stride for a 59-yard touchdown that gave the Rams a lead.

T.J. McDonald, S: +4.8

Breakdown: Turning in a selection of fine plays near the line of scrimmage, McDonald logged a sack and a total of seven defensive stops that included tackles for losses and short gains against runs and passes. A particularly frustrating foe for the Arizona offense in the first half.

Signature Play: 1Q 9:49, McDonald shot through the line, and through the overmatched block of Larry Fitzgerald, to cut down Andre Ellington for a 4-yard loss.

E.J. Gaines, CB: +2.6

Breakdown: Another positive outing for the rookie, Gaines gave up just three of the six targets his way while getting a hand in to knock down two, both of those being outstanding plays on throws into the end zone.

Signature Stat: His +6.2 overall mark in the last six weeks has him among the league’s Top 10 corners in that time and his +5.0 coverage grade in the same span is 11th.
