The short answer is that the Seahawks didn’t take the time out after the Rams showed punt.
They actually took the timeout before. Before the Rams’ punt team came out, and even before the chain gang came out to measure Todd Gurley’s gain on third-and-1.
But, here’s a closer look at what happened on that play.
With 1:39 left in a closely contested Seahawks-Rams game on Sunday afternoon at CenturyLink Field, Los Angeles faced third-and-1 and needed a yard to keep their offense going and, more importantly, keep the ball away from the Seahawks.
