The official stats will say forever that the Seattle Seahawks beat the Los Angeles Rams, 30-29, on Thursday night.
But in reality, this was a game the Seahawks won on April 27, 2012, the day they drafted Russell Wilson.
Oh, they also won it when normally reliable Rams field goal kicker Greg Zuerlein stunningly missed a 44-yard field goal with 11 seconds left that preserved Seattle’s 30-29 lead.

They also won it when Tedric Thompson bobbled, and tipped and then finally controlled a pass that went off the hands of the Rams’ Gerald Everett with 2:08 remaining, a play that had the press box rocking and Seattle players running around the field in celebration even before the replay was reviewed.
