The Seattle Seahawks won a crucial Thursday Night Game against the Rams, completing an improbable comeback for a 38-37 overtime win.
Game Summary
According to the PFF noise-canceled score metric, the Rams should’ve won the game, as they were more consistent, but they gave up a punt-return touchdown and three two-point conversions. It’s also notable that all three of the Seahawks' offensive touchdowns came after single big plays instead of sustained drives. Nevertheless, the Rams still had plenty of chances to finish the game in the fourth quarter.
Passing Summary
The Rams' passing game looked much better than in the first clash between these two teams, as the Seahawks failed to sack Matthew Stafford once as the Rams racked up yards through the air. The Seahawks' passing offense was shut down for most of the game, but they had two big plays: a screen to running back Kenneth Walker III early in the game and a play-action shot to tight end A.J. Barner late in the fourth quarter.
Receiving Summary
It says something about a receiver when it feels like they were shut down for most of a game and still finish with a team-high 96 yards on 12 targets. Cooper Kupp and A.J. Barner both added two crucial catches late in the game.
Puka Nacua racked up a career-high 225 receiving yards in a losing effort. His 125 yards after the catch are the second most by a player this season.
Rushing Summary
The Rams started the game well on the ground, but the Seahawks‘ defense got better throughout the game and ultimately held Los Angeles to one of its worst rushing performances of the season. The Seahawks weren’t consistent on the ground but had a few important big plays.
