A touchdown from Janoris Jenkins is the difference between the St Louis Rams and the San Diego Chargers as the visitors lead 10-6 at the break in their NFL clash.
The Chargers' defense came up with a huge play on the Rams' first series when Shaun Hill was intercepted by Brandon Flowers. Flowers fumbled the ball, but it was gathered by Melvin Ingram, which allowed Philip Rivers to engineer a drive that saw Nick Novak kick a field goal.
St Louis answered the Chargers with a methodical drive that lasted eight minutes as Tre Mason ran the ball effectively between the tackles, while Hill completed short passes underneath the defense. The visitors were held to three points as Greg Zuerlein fired a 22-yarder through the posts.
Rivers led his side downfield again as two completions to Keenan Allen and Eddie Royal moved them into the redzone. However, when he tried to throw to the endzone his pass was picked off by Jenkins and returned all the way for a score for St Louis.
The visitors could have moved further ahead when Hill put them in field goal range, but Zuerlein's kick was blocked and recovered by the Chargers. Just before the break the Chargers managed to put a scoring drive together which resulted in a field goal from Novak.
