St. Louis Rams fans welcomed the Seattle Seahawks into the Edward Jones Dome and are putting a beating on their division rivals, managing to do so in a tricky fashion.

Trick plays are always fun to see in the NFL but rarely do you see them attempted on special teams. Leave it to the St. Louis Rams, who are trying to will their way into the biggest win of their season, to successfully dupe the Seahawks on a trick special teams play.

St. Louis put two punt returners on the field for fourth down which helped set the trickery up. Tayvon Austin was the punt returner that the Seahawks special teams was focusing on, so when he sprinted to the left side of the field trying to catch the punt, the defenders followed him.

The only problem was, the punt had gone to the right side of the field and was returned for a touchdown by Stedman Bailey who took it 88-yards to the house.

Check out the wildest play you’ll see all week below:

There was controversy though, as it appeared Tayvon Austin was calling for a fair catch on the punt. That should have negated the return, only Mike Pereira from FOX Sports notes that no fair catch was called.

The play was legal, and Sehawks fans are going to have to just deal with the reality that their team is down 21-3 to the St. Louis Rams.
