PRO FOOTBALL / DAILY REPORT : RAMS : Rubley Opening Some Eyes
With the emphasis shifting toward preparing the starters for the season opener, quarterback T.J. Rubley knew he couldn’t squander any opportunities to make a positive impression. So, he took the field against the Raiders Saturday night with the attitude that every play might be his last.
For a minute, he thought his second play might be exactly that, when he dropped back to pass and was stripped of the ball by Raider lineman Anthony Smith.
However, Rubley returned and turned in a poised performance that included leading a winning drive in overtime during which he completed five of six passes for 57 yards.
He finished with 15 completions in 23 attempts for 128 yards. He also rushed four times for 27 yards, picking up three first downs on scrambles.
