Two plays into the second quarter, the Rams trailed 13-0 and were on the verge of absorbing an even bigger early deficit. They were backed up on their 30-yard line, facing fourth down, when punter Johnny Hekker took the snap but didn’t punt. He instead passed the ball to a wide-open Sam Shields for 12 yards and a first down. A dozen plays later, the Rams had driven for their first score, a 36-yard field goal by Zuerlein, and the Rams breathed easy.
