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

The Nightmare

You might think that putting the football into the offense's hands would be enough to seal the win in this one. Au contraire, mon frere. You see, up to this point in the game, the Rams offense scored 13 points. The Seahawks offense scored 13 points. And the Rams defense scored 7 points.

The Rams did nothing to consume time again. A short run. A short pass, And an incompletion later, the team punted to the Seahawks again. Once more, the defense held. And as the offense got the football back, the team opted to run. But an offensive penalty pushed the team to their 18-yard line. So despite some modest success running the football, the Seahawks used their three time outs and the 2:00-minute warning

The Rams did punt back to the Seahawks once again. The Rams clung to that lead, put up by their defense. But this one was not over. Still, less than two minutes and up by a touchdown. Surely the team could hang on for the win, right?

And yet, after seven quarterback sacks and three interceptions (one being the aforementioned pick-six of 103 yards by rookie defensive back Kamren Kinchens), the Rams could not shut the door on the Seahawks offense, allowing Geno Smith and the Seahawks' offense to tie the score with this touchdown pass:

After a tremendous effort by the Rams defense, the Seahawks scored.

At the end of regulation play, the score was tied.
