ST. LOUIS — If this was the Rams’ last game in St. Louis, they did what they could to leave the fans smiling.

“I can’t really determine what’s going to happen, what’s not going to happen,” defensive end William Hayes said after the Rams started fast and beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31-23 in their home finale on Thursday night.

“The one thing I can say is it was pretty awesome for the support they gave us.”

The Rams rolled in what might have been their final home game before a possible move to Los Angeles.

Quarterback Case Keenum certainly played inspired. He was 14 of 17 for 234 yards and two touchdowns.

The Edward Jones Dome has been about half-filled most of the season. The team announced 51,295 tickets had been distributed for Thursday’s game.
