When you face the defending champs, it's time to pull out all the stops.

The St. Louis Rams pulled off a doozy on Sunday afternoon against the Seattle Seahawks, with a trick play for the ages. Here's what happened:

Did you follow the camera? Big mistake. Seahawks punter Jon Ryan punted the ball left, but the Rams made it appear like the ball was going right, as return man Tavon Austin made the Seahawks' punt cover team follow him. The ball went to the opposite side of the field to Stedman Bailey, who was suddenly standing by himself.

Bailey had an easy path for a 90-yard return for a touchdown. We might have just seen the play of the year.
