Couldn't find a vid, but this is the Tony Guillory blocked punt against the Peckers, late in the 1967 game at the LA Coleseum.
Claude Crab scooped it up and ran it down to the 5.
A play or 2 later, Gabriel hit Bernie Casey for the game winning TD.

This LA RAMS player, their initial selection in the 1973 NFL draft out of the University of Colorado, picked in the second round as a defensive back, was moved over to the offensive side of the ball, converting to running back in 1974. He scored the RAMS first touchdown on a goal line rush in Super Bowl XIV and had a number of kickoff return touchdowns, including one in a rout of the team that called Candlestick Park their home in 1973, during his pro football career.
 
Name a random great Rams STs player.

I will start with Ivory Sully. Early 80's. I just remember him standing out on STs. I think he blocked some kicks/ punts, along with being a terror on coverage units.

I will never forget that game. Listened to it on the radio with my mom and dad; Dick Enberg did the play by play. People drove out as far as Palm Springs to watch it on TV, as games weren't televised locally. Rams destroyed Baltimore the next week, only to lose at GB in the playoffs - stupid rule at the time mandated playoff locations were rotated and not to the team with the better record. Rams were 11-1-2 while GB was 9-4-1.

Same.
I had my transistor radio in my pocket with the game on, and one ear bud.
