keggerz Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Prior to the Rams recording two safeties in yesterdays game, only 3 teams (4 games) since 1985 have also accomplished the feat. Dallas, Minny & Bills are the three but Minny has done it twice. Believe it or not the Rams aren't the only one to record two safeties and lose their game, the Bills lost 10-12 to Houston in week 11 of 2003. Games where a team recorded 2 safeties. 2003, Week 5, Dallas (24) vs Arz (7) 2003, Week 5, Minny (39 ) @ Atl (26) 2003, Week 11 Bills (10) vs Hou (12) 2008, Week 10 Minny (28) vs GB (27) One last thing...the Rams scored their safeties consecutive defensive series...that might seem odd, but believe it or not the Cowboys,and Minny (vs GB) also had theirs on consecutive defensive series too.
