Half-Time Report: St Louis Rams hold surprise lead over Denver Broncos

The St Louis Rams hold a surprise six-point lead over the Denver Broncos at half time in their NFL clash.

The Rams had a solid start to the game as they moved the ball well on offense with Shaun Hill at quarterback and they made their way into Broncos territory, but were forced to settle for three points from the boot of Greg Zuerlein.

St Louis were able to extend their advantage to 10 points when Hill dropped back and fired deep downfield for the route of Kenny Britt, who beat the coverage of Bradley Roby for a 63-yard touchdown.

The home side continue to dominate the Broncos and they powered further ahead when Hill drove his side to the 10-yard line, although the visitors' defense tightened enough to force a field goal from Zuerlein.

Denver brought themselves back into the game just before the break on a crucial fourth down play. Peyton Manning threw deep downfield for Emmanuel Sanders, who was left uncovered for the 42-yard touchdown.
