    Josh Brown's winning last-second field goal couldn't erase the bad taste from the St. Louis Rams' poor first half.

    Coach Steve Spagnuolo didn't mince words after the starters got dominated on both sides of the ball, needing the backups to rally for a hollow 17-16 victory over the Tennessee Titans on Saturday night.

    "I do think we've got a long way to go based on that first half," Spagnuolo said. "I'm not real happy with how we ran the ball, I'm not real happy with how we stopped the run."

    Players weren't happy, either.

    "Did we come away with a win? Yes, we did," center Jason Brown said. "But did we move the ball like we wanted to? No, we did not. There's going to be a lot of teaching points and a lot of criticism and constructive things we can learn from this game."
