ST. LOUIS (AP) -Donnie Avery finally lived up to the St. Louis Rams' expectations. Maybe now he'll be able to settle down. The second-year receiver had his best game of the season for the offense-deprived, winless Rams last week with five receptions for 87 yards. He got a little carried away after catching a 27-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter of a 38-10 loss to the Vikings and broke into an extended celebration dance. Avery meant it to signal the end of frustrations for a team that committed three turnovers inside the 10 to give away any chance they had of being competitive with the unbeaten Vikings. He heard about it from Steve Spagnuolo the next day in a team meeting. The Rams play at Jacksonville this weekend.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
