LOS ANGELES -- Earl Thomas gave the Seattle Seahawks the first of their five takeaways on Sunday when he forced a fumble on the Los Angeles Rams' opening possession. Running back Todd Gurley was reaching for the goal line when Seattle's All-Pro free safety chopped the ball out of his hand at the last second.
It went from a Rams touchdown -- which was how officials initially ruled it -- to possession for Seattle when an automatic review of the play showed that the ball bounced off the pile-on for a touchback before Gurley broke the plane.
