Why Seattle lost the game

There are many reasons why the Seahawks lost this game, chief among them being the size of the penalty committee. Overall, the Seahawks were held to 12 penalties for a total of 130 yards. On the Rams’ go-ahead field goal drive, cornerback Rick Wallen was caught with illegal hands on a fourth-and-15 play, giving the ball back to Seattle’s offense late in the fourth. quarter

Seven days earlier, Seattle celebrated when Myers hit the game-winning field goal to beat the Commanders. On Sunday, Seattle saw Myers’ game-winning shot from 55 yards short and to the right. He hit kicks of 54, 43 and 52 yards before that final boot. It was Myers’ first miss since Week 4, and it couldn’t have come at a worse time. – Michael Shawn-Duggar, Seahawks staff writer
