Quick reaction: Rams 36, Seahawks 31

LOS ANGELES-The Seahawks pushed the Rams to the brink for the second time this season, but as in the first meeting between these two teams, a late return attempt was very brief. The Rams won 36-31 in the first leg. Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

Here are five quick reactions to the loss of Seahawks Week 10, which dropped their record to 4-5.

1. Both teams play entertaining games.

For the second time this season, the Rams and Seahawks played in a home-and-away match that ended in failure. Unfortunately, for the Seahawks, the Rams still won.

Despite the impressive record of the Rams – they entered the game 8-1 while they had just lost their first game of the season last week – Seattle again showed that it was up to the challenge of to compete with one of the best teams in the league.

The Seahawks opened the game with a 75-yard touchdown – their third total of opening pads over the last four games – and the Rams responded quickly with their own mark.

Although neither team could keep up the pace, the game remained tight and entertaining throughout the match. The Seahawks quickly took the lead 14-7 and 14-10 before the Rams reached 17-14 before half-time.

After a goal scored by the Rams early in the third quarter, the Seahawks finally took the advantage over a touchdown pass from Russell Wilson to Tyler Lockett 23 yards. The touchdown attack was Lockett's seventh this season, giving him a career-high in just nine games.

The game remained tight until late into the night, but the Rams found a crucial opportunity: put Wilson down on a third bag to allow the crew to score a touchdown that earned him a 36-24 record. The Wilson and Seahawks attack rebounded and scored 90 yards for a touchdown, allowing them to score one point again and then, after a quick stoppage of the defense, the Seahawks reached the 35-yard line Rams. their final possession before yielding on the bottom.

2. The Seahawks' run was excellent, even without two key players, thanks in part to the arrival match of Rashaad Penny.

The Seahawks knew they would have to run the ball well to attack the Rams. It sounded like a blow so 90 minutes before the kickoff, it was announced that attacking midfielder Chris Carson and goaltender D.J. Fluker were both inactive due to injuries.

Even without these two players, the Seahawks still racked up 273 rushing yards, an impressive performance, highlighted by a big game of rookie Rashaad Penny. In her longest playing time this season, Penny had 12 yards rushing, including 108 yards, including an 18-yard touchdown for her first career score.

He added 92 yards on nine carries by Wilson, as well as 58 carries to eleven out of 11, Mike Davis, who also had 22 yards, including a touchdown of 3 yards.

In addition to having run more than he had during the entire season, Wilson was also effective in the air, although the Seahawks did not record high volumes in the passing game. Wilson, who started for only 39 yards in the first half when the Seahawks were stuck with the ground game, finished 17th on 26 yards for 176 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions, giving her a score of 123.2.

This is the sixth time in a row that the Seahawks have traveled more than 150 rushing yards, the longest such sequence in the history of the franchise. Penny's 100-yard game makes him the third half-half, with Carson and Davis, to eclipse this mark this season, something the Seahawks have not done since 2015, while Marshawn Lynch, Christine Michael and Thomas Rawls had all played in 100-yard games. .

3. The Rams offensive has produced too many big games.

The Rams were one of the best offensive teams in the league throughout the season. It is therefore not reasonable to expect that a defense will close them completely. However, for the second time in as many games this season, the Rams have moved the ball dramatically. too often.

Rams quarterback Jared Goff had 318 yards and two touchdowns, completing more than 20-yard passes to three receivers. On the field, Todd Gurley ran for 120 yards and a touchdown in just 16 runs. In total, the Rams averaged 7.1 yards per game and gained 456 yards.

The Seattle defense deserved a big stop at the end of the game to give the Seattle offensive one last chance. Unfortunately, this opportunity has been disappointing.

4. Bobby Wagner had a second big consecutive game.

A week ago, Bobby Wagner played what Seahawks coach Pete Carroll could have been the best half of his football of his career, and the All-Pro central linebacker finished with 13 attacks and three passes defended.

On Sunday, Wagner was again at his advantage, recording 13 more tackles, which set a record for the match and a quarterback.

Another defensive player who deserves to be recognized is defenseman Dion Jordan, who had five tackles and a half-sack. In addition to providing his best game performance in a hurry – he lobbied Goff for that he did not go twice, Jordan also had a solid match against the race.

5. Michael Dickson is on a roll.

Rookie scorer Michael Dickson won the NFC Special Olympics Player of the Week title in Seattle's Detroit victory, but was even better in the last two games, showing again why the Seahawks took him in the fifth round of this year's repechage.

Last week, against the Chargers, Dickson scored six balls, averaging 52.8 yards with a net average of 50.0, and four of those six yards inside the twenty. This week, Dickson averaged 55.0 yards and a 47.7-yard, 68-yard, 40-yard net that was shot down on the 3-yard line.
