The St. Louis Rams have back-to-back shutouts for the first time since 1945, beating the Washington Redskins 24-0 Sunday and giving them their second win in a row and third in four tries.  The Rams improved to 5-7.

Tight end Jared Cook caught two touchdown passes, Tavon Austin returned a punt 78 yards for another touchdown, and the defense allowed just 206 total yards against the struggling Redskins, who dropped their fifth straight.

The Rams sacked Colt McCoy six times and the last time, he suffered a neck injury. Robert Griffin III finished the game and was sacked once.
