Check out Mike Silver's typically outstanding story on NFL.com describing the play and the game. A quick excerpt:
As Clowney said afterward, walking from the visitors' locker room toward the
Texans' team buses, "Man, that s--- was crazy. I don't know how they did that."
Havenstein, in a desperate measure that offensive linemen refer to as a "backdoor" maneuver, lunged his hand in front of Clowney and diverted him while spinning toward the quarterback. Goff, meanwhile, hung tough and absorbed a hit from Clowney just after delivering a perfect pass to Woods, who caught it in stride at midfield, with veteran cornerback
Johnathan Joseph in futile pursuit.
Seconds later, Woods was celebrating
a 94-yard touchdown catch, the
Rams' longest play from scrimmage since 1964 -- and the
Rams were on their way to
a 33-7 rout that reaffirmed their credentials as a legitimate, if totally surprising, contender.
"The greatest trait a quarterback can have is not fearing failure -- and that's how Jared's wired," McVay marveled Sunday night. "He had brass balls on that play, and he dropped a dime. And that was so big, 'cause it opened everything up -- and after that, we were off and running."
