It's 4th and 3 on your own 18, you've got just shy of 3 minutes on the clock and a 2 point lead. What do you do? If you said fake a punt and allow your kicker (Johnny Hekker, the man who once punted for negative yards) to throw an 18 yard pass to secure a first down, then congratulations! You're as crazy as Rams head coach Jeff Fisher.

Although it did pay off in spectacular style, securing a Rams victory in week 7.

No guts, no glory!
