    Rams feel confident in new kicker Harrison Mevis
    LOS ANGELES — With two swings of his right leg, kicker Harrison Mevis allowed the Rams to breathe a little easier.
    After two weeks of exclusively attempting — and exclusively making — extra points, the Rams’ new kicker finally was allowed to attempt two field goals in Sunday’s win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, from 40 and 52 yards. On the 52-yarder, pressure came around the edge with a chance to block. But Mevis’ kicks sailed untouched and true.
