Rams rookie Tavon Austin returned the longest punt of the year vs. Indianapolis.

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

The St. Louis Rams currently have a 21-point lead over the Indianapolis Colts after rookie wide receiver Tavon Austin returned a punt 98 yards for a touchdown.

You can also see a GIF of the play here. It could have easily been a rookie error as Austin initially wanted to let the ball fall dead before electing to field the punt at the 2-yard line when it took a Colts bounce. He was able to have the last laugh, weaving through the Indianapolis defense and extending the Rams’ lead.
