| Rookie RB Zac Stacy had a big game on Monday Night Football. Unfortunately, it wasn't quite enough for St. Louis to win. |

The St. Louis Rams defense deserves a lot of credit because
they left nothing on the field. Russell Wilson was under pressure all night and
was sacked seven times. Chris Long and Robert Quinn each recorded three of
those sacks.
Seattle’s offense did nothing late in the game, going three
and out on 5 of 6 drives with the lone exception a 2-play 80-yard drive with a
long touchdown pass to Golden Tate, who was penalized for taunting as he ran
into the end zone.
In addition to the dominant defensive showing, Zac Stacy
provided another bright spot for St. Louis. The rookie running back picked up
134 rushing yards on 26 carries. Beast Mode and the Seahawks combined for 44
rushing yards on 15 carries.
The game, shown on ESPN, went up against Game 5 of the World
Series on FOX. Both games were played in St. Louis, just a few blocks from each
other. But the Rams still beat their average attendance for the season. Their
average is 2nd worst in the league, but their attendance of 55,966
broke that average by almost 600 people.
The Rams get ready for big tests against the Titans, Colts,
Bears and 49ers in the next four weeks. At 3-5, their season is not going as
well as it could. But considering this game went down to the wire and Kellen
Clemens almost led a game-winning drive, don’t count them out from getting some
big wins and, if nothing else, being a spoiler down the stretch.
Seattle plays against the Buccaneers, Falcons and Vikings in
the next three weeks before hosting the New Orleans Saints in a big matchup
between the NFC’s two current powerhouses.
Final Score:
Seattle Seahawks – 14
St. Louis Rams – 9
