St. Louis Rams wide receiver Tavon Austin narrowed the Cincinnati Bengals’ lead with a big run.
The Cincinnati Bengals have been struggling since a hot undefeated start. The St. Louis Rams are looking to capitalize and after falling behind 10-0 they got a big pop from wide receiver Tavon Austin.
First, Austin took the ball on a running play for 60-yards to get to the 13-yard line. Todd Gurley received the snap on the play.

Then after Todd Gurley carried the ball to the eight yard line, Austin once again got the ball on a run to the right and punched it in for the score to narrow the Bengals’ lead to three points.

Austin is the Rams leading scorer at the time of the score, and by an incredible margin. If he weren’t a wide receiver this might not be as astonishing.
Somewhere there are Todd Gurley fantasy football owners who are not happy that Austin is getting some big carries and touchdowns instead of the rookie running back.
