Coming into today’s game in Los Angeles, the 12s were nervous. There had a lot of questions about the Seahawks. Could they contain the high-powered Rams offense? Could Seattle run the ball effectively, especially with both Chris Carson and D.J. Fluker out? Could Russell Wilson deliver enough big plays to win? The answers were a little, a lot, and not quite. Okay, you need details. We’ve got ’em.
First, could the Seahawks contain the Rams? Seattle controlled the Rams about as well as anyone has this season. True, Los Angeles hung 36 on Seattle. However, the Hawks gave them a short field on a questionable onside kick attempt with almost 10 minutes left in the game.
