Saturday night’s preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders was not the first time that Matt Gay helped bail out the LA Rams. It was last season that Gay brought some stability to one of the most instable kicking situations in the NFL, converting 14-of-16 field goal attempts with 16-of-16 extra points, following a combined effort of 10-of-14 and 22-of-26 by the two kickers who preceded him.
Then on Saturday against the Raiders, Gay plugged what could have been a very damaging hole on special teams by punting the ball four times for 168 yards with virtually no miscues.
