GOING FOR IT
Interim head coach John Fassel showed he’s going to coach aggressively early, as he had the Rams go for it on 4th-and-1 at the Seahawks’ seven-yard line. But, running back Todd Gurley did not make it on the toss sweep to the left.
Then in the second quarter, Fassel elected to use a fake punt on 4th-and-9 from the Rams’ own 30. While wide receiver Mike Thomas appeared open on the left side, the pass from punter Johnny Hekker was short and incomplete on the comeback route.
