Rookie receiver Tavon Austin made the St. Louis Rams look like the old "Greatest Show on Turf" against the Indianapolis Colts.

Early in the second quarter, Colts punter Pat McAfee dropped a punt inside St. Louis' 5-yard line. Even with a Colts player nearby, Austin never called for a fair catch and picked it up off of a bounce at the 2-yard line. The 2013 first-round pick out of West Virginia found a hole and dashed up the right sideline 98 yards for a touchdown.

After Indianapolis went three and out, Austin found the end zone again. This time, Rams quarterback Kellen Clemens connected with Austin on a 57-yard touchdown pass down the left sideline. The reception was Austin's first of the game and gave the Ramsdd a 28-0 lead before halftime.

On St. Louis' first possession of the second half, Austin picked up right where he left off. Backed up at their own 19-yard line facing a 3rd and long, Austin caught a pass cutting across the middle of the field. Nobody touched Austin after that as he ran 81 yards for the touchdown.
