SEATTLE -- The Los Angeles Rams actually had a chance on Thursday, despite the quick turnaround and the hostile environment and the sudden coaching change. They arrived in Seattle as 15 1/2-point underdogs, then dropped easy catches, missed wide-open throws, committed ill-timed penalties and let too many opposing receivers free. By the end of it, they made vociferous Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman seem like a prophet.
Their play, in essence, was a "poopfest."
Three days after firing Jeff Fisher, the Rams looked even sloppier under special teams coordinator and interim coach John Fassel, suffering a 24-3 defeat to the division-rival Seahawks on a frigid Thursday night from CenturyLink Field.
