ST. LOUIS - The toughest part of Robert Quinns day was surviving the ride to the locker room. "They hoisted me off," the Rams defensive end said. "I was hoping I didnt get dropped." Quinn got three sacks to break the franchise season record and take the NFL lead, too, as St. Louis beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23-13 on Sunday. Controlling Quinn and the rest of the St. Louis pass rush had been a Tampa Bay priority. Whoops. "Im anxious to watch the tape because I want to see — with some of the things we had in place — how the heck they didnt slow them down more than they did," Buccaneers coach Greg Schiano said. "Weve got to find out why." Fellow defensive ends Chris Long and William Hayes waited just inside the tunnel to the locker room and scooped up the 264-pound Quinn. "Ive never seen anybody like him," Long said. "He deserves it. We dont just carry any jack wagon off the field." The Rams wore throwback jerseys from their Super Bowl title season and Quinn outdid one of the stars from that team. He has 18 sacks, 1 1/2 more than Indianapolis Robert Mathis for the league lead, and broke Kevin Carters mark of 17 in that 1999 Super Bowl season. "You almost want to peel your eyes back and watch like a fan," defensive tackle Michael Brockers said. "You think, How did he do that? "You see that flash of 94 go past and you think, Oh snap, that quarterback doesnt know what hes in for." The Rams won without left tackle Jake Long, who injured his knee on the first series. Coach Jeff Fisher believes Long tore a right knee ligament, adding, "We are anticipating the worst." Zac Stacy rushed for 104 yards on 33 carries and a touchdown, and two other rookies also had big games for the Rams (7-8), who matched their victory total from last year. Stedman Bailey scored on a 27-yard reverse, and Alec Ogletree forced two fumbles. Ogletree stripped Bobby Rainey early in the second quarter. Bailey scored his first career touchdown on the next snap on the reverse to put the Rams up for good at 14-7. The Buccaneers (4-11) managed just 170 total yards, setting a season low for the second straight week. Vincent Jackson had five catches for 98 yards but Rainey was held to 37 yards on 20 carries and Glennon was 16 of 26 for just 158 yards minus 47 yards on the sacks. "I did a terrible job of securing the ball, what Im supposed to, and I put the game on me," Rainey said. "We played behind because of me." Rainey opened the scoring with a 1-yard run in the first quarter and Stacy scored on a 1-yard run early in the second quarter. There were thousands of empty seats for an unattractive matchup with attendance announced at 54,423 — about 12,000 shy of capacity. James Laurinaitis added two sacks and Greg Zuerlein kicked three field goals, including a season-best 54-yarder in the third quarter after Tampa Bay had cut the deficit to a point. The Buccaneers are 1-6 on the road, the lone win at Detroit that gave them a three-game winning streak overall after an 0-8 start. Tampa Bay finishes at New Orleans next week. Quinns first sack helped force the Bucs to settle for a 35-yard field goal by Rian Lindell to cut the Rams lead to 14-10 at the half. Bailey has gotten involved in the offence the last few weeks and stepped up with Tavon Austin, his former teammate at West Virginia, sidelined for a second straight week by a left ankle injury. The reverse was his first career NFL TD and first rushing since high school, and he had three catches for 44 yards. "My eyes lit up like a Christmas tree," Bailey said. "Its been a long time, you know." Bailey was just as prolific as Austin in college, totalling 41 touchdowns in three seasons at West Virginia, but had just two carries for 13 yards. NOTES: The Rams unsuccessfully challenged the spot after T.J. McDonald sacked Glennon at the 1 on a blitz in the second quarter. ... Rams Hall of Fame tackle Jackie Slater was introduced during a break in the first quarter. ... Bucs rookie DE William Gholston made his first career start. ... Zuerlein is 1 for 2 from 50 yards this year. He was 7 for 13 last year as a rookie, setting a franchise record with a 58-yarder and then breaking it with a 60-yarder at home against Seattle.

Joejuan Williams Jersey .B. -- Canadas Rachel Homan had ideal preparation for the playoffs at the Ford World Curling Championships with a pair of hard-fought wins over tenacious opponents Thursday. DALLAS -- Monta Ellis is turning into quite a consolation prize after Dallas missed out on Dwight Howard. Ellis had a season-high 37 points and two key assists late, Dirk Nowitzki led a fourth-quarter rally with 14 of his 35 points, and the Mavericks spoiled Howards best offensive night in Houston with a 123-120 victory over the Rockets on Wednesday night. The Mavericks settled for a pair of guards in Ellis and Jose Calderon after Howard chose the Rockets in free agency during the summer. Nowitzki wanted Howard as much as anyone else, but has raved about Ellis all season. "Were really just playing off of him," said Nowitzki, who also had a season high in scoring. "Hes been aggressive, hes been shooting the ball well, but whats been great is that he has been making plays for others. Hes making all of us better." Howard, playing in front of Dallas fans for the first time since his big decision, made his first 11 shots and scored a season-high 33 points to go with a game-high 11 rebounds after receiving some mild pregame boos. The Mavericks, who improved to 6-0 at home, trailed by 18 late in the third quarter but were down just one in the final minute when Ellis drove and zipped a pass to Shawn Marion in the corner for the go-ahead 3-pointer with 47 seconds left. Houstons James Harden had a chance to tie it with 9 seconds left but missed the second of two free throws, keeping Dallas lead at 121-120. Calderon made two free throws after a Houston foul, and Harden shot an airball on a 3-point try in the final seconds. The Rockets had 101 points after three quarters -- 50 of them in the paint -- but set the tone for the fourth by starting it with four straight 3-pointers, all misses. "In the fourth quarter, we went away from what we were doing the first three quarters," said Howard, who had four alley-oop dunks in the first half. "Weve just got to read how teams are playing us. Its growing pains. We have a very young team. Weve got to realize what we can do as a team." Howard, who was 12 of 16 from the field and even made nine of 13 free throws, hit one of two from the line for a 119-114 lead before Nowitzki hit a jumper, then blocked a shot by Howard on the other end. Ellis assisted on a dunk by Marion, and after Chandler Parsons missed a layup, Ellis found Marion for the go-ahead shot. Ellis finished with eight assists. "We stayed together as a team," Ellis said. "We got the defensive stops when we needed and came down andd made shots on the other end.dddddddddddd" Nowitzki passed Reggie Miller for 15th on the NBA scoring list, with the 35-year-old in his 16th season going ahead of Miller on a free throw after a technical foul for defensive 3 seconds called against Howard. Nowitzki now has 25,298 points. Miller, the second-most prolific 3-point shooter behind Ray Allen, scored 25,279 points in 18 seasons with Indiana from 1987-2005. Brooklyns Kevin Garnett is 14th at 25,340 points after scoring four in a 95-91 loss to Charlotte on Wednesday night. "We never could get a handle on them," Rockets coach Kevin McHale said. "We just couldnt get them stopped the whole game. Dirk and Ellis got what they wanted." The Rockets led by 18 late in the third quarter before the Mavericks rallied in the fourth by shooting 74 per cent and outscoring Houston 36-19. After Dallas got to 104-101, Houston went back up by nine on consecutive 3-pointers from Patrick Beverley and Harden, who had 23 points on 6-of-14 shooting. The lead was still nine when Calderon and Nowitzki hit 3-pointers around a bucket by Harden, setting up the wild finish. "It would have been easy to drop our heads and stop playing, but these guys arent going to do that," Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said. Parsons had 21 points and a game-high 11 assists, but he attempted just two shots in the second half after scoring 18 and hitting three of four from 3-point range before halftime. "Its just annoying and frustrating to know we should have won the game," Parsons said. "We had a big lead and then we played completely different in one half than we did in the first half." Samuel Dalembert, the defensive-minded centre Dallas signed after Howard chose Houston, was powerless to stop him most of the night before finally getting a block on a layup try that was just Howards second miss. Dalembert led the Mavericks with 10 rebounds and four of their five blocks. A night after shooting 72 per cent in the first half of a blowout win over Boston, Houston was at 68 per cent at the break against Dallas and had 36 points in the paint -- 16 of those on dunks -- in taking a 68-61 lead. NOTES: Nowitzki got a technical foul in the first half for complaining about a foul on a drive by Harden, who missed the free throw. ... The Rockets shot 75 per cent in a 40-point first quarter. Harden, Parsons, Terrence Jones and Omar Casspi combined to go 5 of 6 from 3-point range as Houston took a 40-29 lead.
