Cairo Santos, former Tulane kicker, atones for miss with winner for Rams

Cairo Santos missed what could have been a costly extra point for the Los Angeles Rams but made up for it by making the winning field goal.

The former Tulane kicker joined the Rams during the week as they await the return of Greg Zuerlein from a groin injury. The Rams cut Sam Ficken after he missed two of his three field-goal attempts in place of Zuerlein over two games.

On Sunday (Oct. 7) against the Seattle Seahawks, Santos was good on his first four kick attempts -- one 19-yard field goal and three extra points -- before an extra point went wide left and left the Rams with a 31-30 deficit early in the fourth quarter.
