RAMS MOVE TO 80 WITH LATE STAND

-

» Greg Zuerlein hit a 34yard field goal with 2:05 left and Ramik Wilson forced and recovered Ty Montgomery’s fumble on the ensuing kickoff return, allowing the Rams to remain unbeaten without a late defensive stand in a 2927 victory over the Packers on Sunday.

Jared Goff passed for 295 yards and three touchdowns while the Rams (80) were sternly tested by the Packers (331) and Aaron Rodgers, who threw for 286 yards.

Both teams rallied from 10point deficits to take a lead in front of a bipartisan Coliseum crowd, but Rodgers never got the chance to mount one of his trademark winning drives.

Instead, the Rams extended their best start to a season since 1969.

Steelers 33, Browns 18.

The Steelers (421) overcame a slow start and their own mistakes to win their 15th straight at Heinz Field over the Browns (251), who have lost 25 consecutiv­e road games — one shy of the NFL record.

Roethlisbe­rger connected on TD passes of 43 and 1 yards with Brown, and Conner continued to minimize Le’Veon Bell’s absence. Conner rushed for 146 yards, and scored on a 12yard run in the third quarter that put the Steelers ahead 2312.

Conner’s 22yard TD with 2:04 left made it 3312.
