The Miami Dolphins and St. Louis Rams had the top two picks of the draft and the Rams (2-10) are likely to get another early selection next April after losing their sixth in a row. They settled for ending a string of blowout losses behind Jackson, who had 94 yards on 21 carries, and tackle Orlando Pace, who missed only one game with a knee strain.

Marc Bulger, sidelined by a concussion last week against the Bears, threw three interceptions in the second half - the clincher by Andre' Goodman at the Dolphins 5 with 35 seconds to go. Renaldo Hill's second pick in two games set up Dan Carpenter's third field goal for the final score with 6:39 left.

The St Louis Rams got a perfect day from kicker Josh Brown, who matched his season best with four field goals in four attempts. Bulger was far from perfect, going 16-for-35 for 149 yards.

The head-to-head matchup of the first two draft picks, both named Long, was probably was a draw. Dolphins tackle Jake Long, the No. 1 overall selection, had a false start on the first play of the game while Rams defensive end Chris Long had one quarterback pressure.

The St Louis Rams' 6-0 lead after the first quarter was their first lead in four games to end a horrible stretch in which they were outscored 99-6 in the first half. They had possession for more than 17 minutes and Jackson wasn't exactly eased back in with 16 touches and 88 yards in the half.
