Punt return TD sparks Rams in playoff-clinch win vs. Vikings

Associated Press  

MINNEAPOLIS — Before Brandon Powell joined the Los Angeles Rams last month, his fifth team in four NFL seasons, he read books on the beach near his Florida home while waiting for yet another chance. That drive was the only one of the Vikings’ first nine possessions that went longer than 15 yards, a disservice to a defense that kept the Rams in check for much of the afternoon. GIFT RETURN Powell gave the Rams their first non-offensive touchdown of the season, their first special teams return score since Pharoh Cooper in 2017, and their first punt return touchdown since Tavon Austin in 2015 when they still played in St. Louis. INJURY REPORT Rams: LB Ernest Jones was hurt in the first quarter and didn’t return.. C Brian Allen limped off in the second quarter, forcing a further shuffle of the offensive line. Vikings: WR Adam Thielen returned from a two-game absence with three catches for 40 yards, but he aggravated the injury twice and barely played in the second half.. Cook was joined on the COVID-19 reserve list by backup QB Sean Mannion and backup OT Rashod Hill.. With Mason Cole on injured reserve, Oli Udoh returned to his original starting RG spot.
