Rams defense eager to show off its 'receiver skills' against Sam Darnold and Seahawks
"Turner's turnover was one of seven the Rams forced in two games this season against the Seahawks, including six interceptions. Of the Rams' 16 interceptions this season, more than a third came against the Seahawks. The Rams aim to continue their torrent of takeaways Sunday when they play Seattle in the NFC Championship game at Lumen Field. Four of second-year safety Kam Kinchens' six career interceptions came against the Seahawks, including two in the first matchup between the teams this season."
"'Usually, you hope a guy doesn't make the same mistake twice,' Kinchens said of Darnold. 'In my case, I'm hoping he makes the same mistake twice, because that's more picks for me.' Are the Seahawks his favorite team to play against? 'Yes,' Kinchens said, 'Because they like to test the secondary. They have good receivers and Sam Darnold wants to throw the ball down the field and push it down the field. That's a lot of opportunities, and I love when I get to show people my receiver skills.'"
Kobie Turner, a Rams defensive lineman, intercepted a Sam Darnold pass near the goal line for his first career interception. The Rams forced seven turnovers in two games against the Seahawks this season, including six interceptions, and more than a third of the Rams' 16 interceptions came against Seattle. The team aims to keep forcing takeaways in the NFC Championship at Lumen Field. Safety Kam Kinchens has four of his six career interceptions against the Seahawks and welcomes Seattle's aggressive downfield passing. Cornerback Cobie Durant has produced timely interceptions, and coach Sean McVay credited Durant's impact. Durant attributed success to front pressure and secondary ball-hawking.
