"Short week, strange and bad trip. The Rams were on the verge of enduring a quick turnaround, a distracting Puka Nacua controversy, and a flight delay but they could not hold onto the No. 1 seed in the NFC. Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold's two-point conversion pass to tight end Eric Saubert sent the Rams to a 38-37 overtime defeat on Thursday night before 68,853 at Lumen Field."
"After Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford connected with Nacua for a 41-yard touchdown pass, Darnold's four-yard touchdown pass to Jaxon Smith-Njigba pulled the Seahawks to within two points. Darnold finished the Rams with the pass to Saubert. The loss dropped the Rams record to 11-4, knocked them out of first place in the NFC West and put a major roadblock in their pursuit of home-field advantage for the playoffs."
Sam Darnold's overtime two-point conversion pass to Eric Saubert gave the Seahawks a 38-37 victory over the Rams. Matthew Stafford threw for 457 yards and three touchdowns. Puka Nacua had 12 receptions for 225 yards and two touchdowns and apologized for an antisemitic gesture earlier in the day. Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught a four-yard touchdown from Darnold to pull Seattle within two points. The loss dropped the Rams to 11-4, cost them the NFC West lead and complicated their pursuit of home-field advantage. Seattle moved to 12-3, with the 49ers still in contention. The Rams finish the regular season versus Atlanta and Arizona.
