Rams vs. Buccaneers: St. Louis offense comes alive in road win

Douglas M of Turf Show Times had nothing but praise for the aggressive and young defense:

The Rams close out the season on the road in Seattle on Sunday, Dec. 30, with kickoff set for 4:25 p.m. ET.

Despite getting soundly beaten, the Bucs dominated time of possession and ran 81 plays. As a result Jackson got 15 balls thrown his way, which didn’t even lead the team. Jackson is now at 1,334 yards on the season, which is a career high.

He performed well over what comprises the typical fantasy playoffs with 320 yards over the last three weeks.

Williams cracked the 100-yard mark for the first time since Oct. 14. He now has 931 yards on the season and needs 69 in the Bucs’ final game to get to 1,000 on the season.

Fantasy Impact: Williams caught a 61-yard score in the fourth quarter that did nothing to alter the outcome of the game, but paid off big time for fantasy owners.

Fantasy Impact: Martin was held out of the end zone, but still contributed for fantasy owners, particularly those in PPR leagues with his career-high seven receptions.

Jackson scored on a 5-yard run right before halftime for his fourth touchdown of the season. His 81 yards puts him at 990 on the season and he is only 10 yards away from his eighth straight 1,000 yard season with St. Louis.

Fantasy Impact: Jackson is not the fantasy wrecking ball he once was, but he can still get it done and proved that again on Sunday when it mattered most, fantasy championship week.

Each team would go on to score another touchdown in the third quarter, but in the final frame, the Rams defense stepped up and was able to keep the Buccaneers out of the end zone.
