Rams Week 9 had it all, the good, the bad, the ugly, and a Hollywood ending

Rams offense springs to life

I won't lie. When the Rams took to the football field in the second half, I had already lowered expectations for the team overall. Instead, I began to focus on individual performances. And there were not many by halftime worth queuing up for feature articles. But that was all about to change.

The Rams struggled to run with the football in the first half of this one. That set up a pesky Seahawks secondary to lay back and await the inevitable passing of veteran QB Matthew Stafford. And he had already thrown one interception.

Instead, the Rams threw a wrench into the Seahawks defensive engine by running RB Kyren Williams. Now with the running game established, the passing game began to produce as well. And then, with the football on the Seahawks one-yard line, Stafford found WR Demarcus Robinson in the end zone for a touchdown.

Not only did that put the Rams back on the scoreboard, but the positive momentum carried over to the defense, which forced a punt from the Seahawks.

Once again, the Rams drove the football to the one-yard line. But after a two-yard loss by RB Kyren Williams and an incomplete pass, the Rams were okay with tying the game up with a Joshua Karty field goal. The Rams were tied with the Seahawks. But the momentum was about to do some loop-de-loops. Buckle up, because the ending to this game was unlike anything I'd seen since the Rams miraculous victory in Week 3.
