Los Angeles — Nickell Robey-Coleman has had his fair share of big plays at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. In fact, he holds a share of USC's record with three interceptions returned for touchdowns as a Trojan.

On Sunday, the Buffalo Bills' cornerback had another pick six, and this one helped his team wrap up a 30-19 win over the Los Angeles Rams. With the game tied at 16, Rams quarterback Case Keenum threw a route Robey-Coleman had seen over and over again on film.

"We was in man coverage," Robey-Coleman said. "You know, on film, the whole week they were showing us the same look where they like out-breaking routes to press us. I just trusted my technique and I broke when he broke. The ball was there and I just intercepted it."

Robey-Coleman ended up intercepting another pass late in the game that put the Bills' big win on ice.

"He's coming home and, like my old football coach said, sometimes guys will step their game up even more when they go home. He did a great job," Bills coach Rex Ryan said. "Obviously he's played this season with a ton of confidence, and I think it's based on the fact that he allows himself to be coached. He's bought into it with the film study, the preparation and everything else. He's got a lot of ability, but he doesn't just rely on ability only. He's a tireless worker, and it's really paying off for him this year."

Robey-Coleman now has two defensive touchdowns for the Bills this season. A year ago, this defense never seemed to come up big plays at the right time. Now they can't help it.

"It was kind of sluggish, and then that play," Robey-Coleman said. "I feel like it sparked us. I feel like it gave our defense some juice. It gave the sideline some juice, and sometimes that's what you need to bring everybody together. Somebody has to make a big play, that's when everybody just starts honing in and gets down in the keys and tries to make a play. I think our juices started going and everything was great."

Rams coach Jeff Fisher, who spent his press conference making excuses, and he had one for that play.

"I've got to see it," Fisher said. "Someone told me there was a hold on the play and the receiver was restricted, so I don't know. I have to look at the play."

Odds are, Fisher won't like what he sees. Robey-Coleman has been on top of the world in this stadium before. When he emerged from the locker room dressed in a sweat suit with his hair tied back and sunglasses on, he couldn't have asked for much more.

"Today was a good day," Robey-Coleman said with a smile.
