Once again, the Los Angeles Rams defense started out red hot, with a big assist from the clock-gobbling offensive unit. But when the offense started to take its foot off the gas, the momentum swerved the Indianapolis Colts way and L.A. had to claw and scratch its way to a 29-23 overtime win.

Until midway through the third quarter, the Rams defense allowed zero points, 114 total yards, and five first downs. Then the roof fell in. In four drives over 10 minutes, Indy closed up a 23-0 deficit and tied the game by rumbling for 231 yards on 29 plays.
