Jets defensive lineman Muhammed Wilkerson busted through the Rams' offensive line and perfectly timed a strip-sack of Sam Bradford. The ball bounced around, and eventually right into the hands of Jets linebacker Bart Scott. At first, it looked like Scott might take it all the way.
But the veteran linebacker was eventually caught. This defensive play shifted the momentum of the game because following it, Mark Sanchez delivered a touchdown strike to wide receiver Chaz Schillens.
