VIDEO: Brandon Lloyd Catches Beautiful Garbage Time Touchdown

by Ryan Van Bibber on Jan 1, 2012 3:17 PM CST in 2011 NFL regular season

The St. Louis Rams managed to score a second touchdown, against all odds and historical precedent. After years of refusing to take any shots downfield, head coach Steve Spagnuolo must have had a foxhole conversion. Sure enough, it worked. Kellen Clemens hit Brandon Lloyd on a 36-yard deep shot for the touchdown.

Video below the jump.

The Rams are likely going to lose Lloyd next season. The free agent-to-be said recently that he would like to follow Josh McDaniels, the current offensive coordinator, wherever he goes next season. There's a chance that could be St. Louis, but it seems unlikely with a major house cleaning coming after the season ends.

That touchdown led to a comeback. The Rams got an onsides kick, scored another touchdown. Driving, Kellen Clemens was injured on a sack. He left the field on a cart. Tom Brandstater came in. On fourth down, he hit Daranio Alexander on the hands for what would have been a first down. Fittingly, the maddeningly inconsistent Alexander could not hang on to the ball.

Looks great....shows some talent in a BS audition for another team

Didn’t like him in the Broncos, Hated the trade for him here and completely surprised me this year and absolutely he wore the jersey. Granted he has talent and he is by far the best WR we had since Holt but I don’t want him back. First he wants to go with Mc D and we know he won’t be back so he would want to go..Second he was utilized especially well under Mc D and while he might still be our best wideout he won’t match the production he had this yr and last. so we would be under utilizing him and he no longer helps our team be better. And lastly he will want a huge payday and how many 30 something WR’s you know get a bug payday and live up to and earn the money they agreed to? TO wasn’t the same, or Moss, Chad 85, Holt, Wayne, Clayton ,Mason and so on and so forth…..I say thanks for the effort Lloyd but we will look for help elsewhere.
