SEATTLE \u2013 The Rams’ defense got a 4th-and-1 stop inside the redzone, then quarterback Matthew Stafford<\/a> connected with wide receiver Demarcus Robinson<\/a> for the walk-off, 39-yard touchdown to earn Los Angeles (4-4) a 26-20 overtime win over the Seahawks on Sunday at Lumen Field.<\/p>\n

The Seahawks (4-5) tied the game 20-20 on a 14-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Geno Smith to wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, giving the ball back to the Rams with under a minute remaining in regulation. The Rams reached their own 49, but were unable to get the conversion on 3rd and 2 from that spot, and forced to punt.<\/p>\n

Getting the ball back with 19 seconds left in regulation, Seattle drained the clock to take the game to overtime.<\/p>\n

Winning the coin toss and getting the ball first in overtime, the Seahawks capitalized and drove to the Rams’ 16-yard line, where they went for it on 4th-and-1 and got stuffed by the Rams defense.<\/p>\n

On the ensuing possession, quarterback Matthew Stafford marched the Rams downfield, then fired a 39-yard touchdown pass to Demarcus Robinson to clinch the win.<\/p>\n

Rookie safety Kamren Kinchens<\/a> recorded his first career interception and returned it 103 yards for a touchdown. The go-ahead pick-six gave the Rams a 20-13 lead early in the fourth quarter; the scoring play was part of the Rams outscoring the Seahawks 17-0 in the second half. Los Angeles trailed Seattle 13-3 at halftime.<\/p>\n

The Rams’ defense had three interceptions \u2013 rookie safety Jaylen McCollough<\/a> extended his team lead with his fourth of the season \u2013 and also notched seven sacks in the victory, led by defensive end Braden Fiske<\/a>‘s two.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles had to overcome the absence of wide receiver Puka Nacua<\/a>, who had one reception for 11 yards before being ejected in the second quarter due to an unnecessary roughness penalty.<\/p>\n

Both teams combined for 178 penalty yards on 20 penalties in the contest.<\/p>\n

Here is the complete game recap:<\/p>\n

After a pair of scoreless opening drives, the Rams were well-positioned to add points thanks to an interception by safety Jaylen McCollough at midfield midway through the first quarter, but a holding penalty that took away a long Kyren Williams<\/a> run ultimately derailed the series. Neither team could establish much of an offensive rhythm in a scoreless first quarter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SEATTLE \u2013 The Rams’ defense got a 4th-and-1 stop inside the redzone, then quarterback Matthew Stafford connected with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":264525,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2081],"tags":[7,17420,41492,6,238,237,261,2635],"class_list":{"0":"post-264524","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-seattle-seahawks","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-game-recap","10":"tag-los-angeles-rams-at-seattle-seahawks-2024-reg-9","11":"tag-nfl","12":"tag-seahawks","13":"tag-seattle","14":"tag-seattle-seahawks","15":"tag-seattleseahawks"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114977986592538612","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/264524","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=264524"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/264524\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/264525"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=264524"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=264524"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=264524"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
