St. Louis celebrates Josh Brown's game-winning kick as time expired.

It was over when ...
Josh Brown kicked a 49-yard field goal as time expired. A 15-yard unsportsmanlike-conduct penalty on Rams guard Richie Incognito moved the ball back to the 32-yard line but proved to be of little consequence to Brown, who booted the ball right down the center.

Game ball
Donnie Avery had a 43-yard reception for St. Louis to set up Brown's winning kick. Avery made a move on the under-thrown ball from Marc Bulger to make a nifty one-handed catch. Avery has been slowed by injuries this year, but he set career highs with four receptions for 73 yards Sunday.

Key stat
The Redskins had their first three offensive turnovers of the season. Oshiomogho Atogwe scored the Rams' only touchdown on a 75-yard fumble return at the end of the second quarter, with the Redskins moving in for a score.

Noteworthy
The Rams snapped an eight-game losing streak going back to last season and gave coach Jim Haslett a win in his coaching debut for St. Louis. Haslett's last head-coaching win came in Week 12 of the 2005 season with the Saints. ... Redskins RB Clinton Portis scored two touchdowns and has six on the season. ... Redskins RB Ladell Betts left the game in the fourth quarter and had his left knee worked on by trainers.
