St. Louis Rams running back Todd Gurley is impressing more and more each week. He finished with 128 yards and his first two career touchdowns on 19 carries in Sunday's win.

He’s the first Rams rookie with that many rushing yards and multiple rushing touchdowns in a game since Eric Dickerson in 1983.

On Sunday, it was what Gurley did after being hit that was most impressive.
