RAMS OUTSHINE HAWKS IN TINSEL TOWN
Seahawks mistakes in second half lead to Rams dominating for win
Todd Gurley ran all over the Hawks in the win
Los Angeles - Make no mistake about it, the Seahawks have company in the NFC West race. After a solid first half, and a 17-10 lead going into the locker room, the Seahawks got out gunned 31-7 in the second half, behind defensive, and special teams scores by the Rams, as they were able to pull away for a 41-24 win. After a masterful two minute drive to close out the half, Seattle forced a punt on the Rams opening possession of the second half, and looked to have all of the momentum, but Doug Baldwin got hit hard after catching a pass over the middle, and the Rams picked it up and took it all the way to the house for a score that tied the game up, and swung momentum back to the home team. After a Seattle three and out, Los Angeles brought pressure and blocked Jon Ryan's punt, returning that for a score as well, and opening the flood gates for the Rams, who never looked back. Todd Gurley was able to run rough shod over the Hawks once the Rams seized control and finished with three touchdowns on the day. The Rams now take an early stranglehold on the division with a two game lead, plus the tie breaker over the Hawks who now head into the bye week to re-group, and try to fix some of their early season flaws.
