Coughing up a 10-point halftime lead with a dreadful second half performance with red zone gaffes galore, the Seahawks fell to last place in the NFC West.
SEATTLE, Wash. - Melting down in disastrous fashion, Geno Smith threw a pair of red zone interceptions in the fourth quarter and theallowed a long walk-off touchdown pass from Matthew Stafford to Demarcus Robinson in overtime as they suffered a gut-wrenching 26-20 defeat to the Los Angeles Rams.
Dropping an unspeakable fourth straight game at home and falling into last place in the NFC West, here are five quick takeaways from the Seahawks latest missed opportunity at Lumen Field:Heading into the locker room red hot, Smith closed on the second quarter with a flurry, taking advantage of two "free" plays with offsides penalties with a 30-yard touchdown pass to Lockett on a go route and a 47-yard connection with Smith-Njigba on a deep corner route.
But even in the second half and overtime, while Walker ripped off a couple nice runs along the way, he still averaged just 3.3 yards per carry on 25 carries with the Rams regularly blowing up plays at the line of scrimmage and ready to corral him off the edge when he bounced runs.
