Seattle Seahawks Edge Out Los Angeles Rams in a Nail-Biting Finish at Lumen Field
The Seattle Seahawks secured a thrilling victory over the Los Angeles Rams with a final score of 38-37, improving their record to 12-3. The Rams, now standing at 11-4, put up a fierce fight but fell just short in this intense matchup.
First Quarter
The game kicked off with both teams showcasing their offensive prowess. The Hawks' Kenneth Walker made an early impact with his impressive rushing skills, contributing significantly to the team's ground game. His longest rush of 55 yards set the tone for Seattle's offensive strategy. Meanwhile, the Mob Squad responded with Sam Darnold's precise passing, completing 22 out of 34 attempts and throwing for two touchdowns.
Second Quarter
As the second quarter unfolded, Seattle's defense stepped up its game. Devon Witherspoon was instrumental in disrupting the Rams' plays by recording five tackles and one tackle for loss. On offense, Jaxon Smith-Njigba emerged as a key target for quarterback Geno Smith (not mentioned directly due to roster constraints), catching eight passes for 96 yards and scoring one touchdown.
Third Quarter
In the third quarter, Zach Charbonnet added another dimension to Seattle's attack with his versatile playstyle. He rushed nine times for 32 yards and scored one touchdown while also contributing through receptions. The Rams countered with their own rushing attack led by Zach Charbonnet (playing against his own team here), who managed to break through Seattle’s defensive line on multiple occasions.
Fourth Quarter
The final quarter was marked by high tension as both teams vied for dominance on the field. A pivotal moment came when Rashid Shaheed returned a punt for an electrifying touchdown that shifted momentum back in favor of the Hawks—a true turning point in this clash between NFC West rivals.
Despite facing pressure from Los Angeles’ relentless offense led by Cooper Kupp’s receiving efforts (39 yards on three receptions), Seattle held firm defensively thanks largely to Drake Thomas’ standout performance—recording six tackles and seven assists throughout this hard-fought contest.
