But the futile Rams offense failed to score enough points.

With quarterback Sam Bradford playing on a gimpy left ankle and unable to consistently step into his throws, it was a challenge for the Rams to reach the end zone.

Jackson, inexplicably ignored in the goal-line offense, had to basically yell and wave his arms at the sideline before offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels gave him the ball. An understandably angry Jackson scored on a hard, slamming run with 4 minutes, 39 minutes remaining in the game.

Earlier, in another failed goal-line situation, the bizarre McDaniels called for Bradford to run a naked bootleg. It was an instant disaster that ended with Bradford getting pummeled, slammed to the ground and flagged for intentional grounding.

Calling a bootleg for a quarterback who's gimping around on high ankle sprain? Put Bradford at risk instead of giving the rock to Jackson? This is really awful coaching, folks. It makes absolutely no sense. Are these men trying to get fired?

Once upon a time we'd all berate Mike Martz and call him crazy for his strange play calls. But at least Mad Mike got his offense into the end zone. The naked bootleg may have been the single worst play call of this NFL season.

Jackson's touchdown was the only TD of the night for the Rams, and their 12th from scrimmage in 13 games.

Since Spagnuolo became head coach in 2009 the Rams have scored 55 touchdowns from scrimmage in 45 games.

The 1999 Rams scored 55 TDs from scrimmage in 16 games.

On offense the Rams have gone from The Greatest Show to the Great Depression.

And let me get this straight: The buzz is that the Kansas City Chiefs may consider McDaniels as candidate to become head coach?

Huh? The McDaniels offense is last in the NFL in points per game (11.7), touchdowns and converting third downs and has given up the most sacks. And that's just a partial list of failures.
