NFL 2022-2023 Season - Week 18: Rams @ Seahawks

and we welcome you to Seattle Washington where week 18 has major Stakes for the home team the Seattle Seahawks know what's on the line they clinch the playoffs with a win and then they become the biggest lions fans around who'd like to spoil it none other than former Seahawk Bobby Wagner in his return to Seattle but for Geno Smith he wants to cap his season as a Seattle starter with a playoff bid hi again everybody alongside my partner Mark Sanchez I'm Kevin coogler this is very simple for Seattle they win and then they hope they hope that the Lions beat the Packers tonight Mark what do they have to do to get it done well most importantly Gino Smith has to keep doing what he's done all year 29 touchdowns only nine interceptions he's taking care of the football well leads the league in completion percentage hey in the Bobby Wagner bull you got to be your best he can't let him come up here and play spoiler he's got to be sharp and Kenneth Walker has to help him out of the backfield they're stud running back for the defending Super Bowl champs we all know it's been a disappointing season but for quarterback Baker Mayfield who came in late in the year it's one more chance to make a positive impression that's exactly right and people aren't going to Care this off season that it's a little wet that the conditions aren't great that this is an energized Seattle Seahawks football team they're just going to watch the tape and it's a cold-blooded business if he can perform today that's just more good tape in his favor to go get a job somewhere next year he's going to have to be aware of those fans though the 12's shown up they're going to be loud and make it tough on them should be a lot of fun today with high stakes involved but we will not kick it off without saying hello to our friend of the field door opener all right Kevin the last time Bobby Wagner was obvious ly 171 days ago leaving the game after the first play with the knee injury Bobby's motivation today not having that play be his last play on this field no matter what Jersey he's wearing saying I was injured I was released and having to prove to the world you are who you are all those feelings he said are so much more important than revenge or ending Seattle season but that he added is the cherry on top Kevin yeah when we saw these two teams when both Sean McVeigh and Pete Carroll met up earlier in the season in Los Angeles Bobby Wagner tried to downplay playing his old team at that point too and then he came out played like a man with his hair on fire running all over the place see if he comes out that way again today it is a rainy day in Seattle that's not a surprise to the folks who live in Seattle 46 degrees light winds La won the toss they elect to defer so Seattle starts with a football and week 18 is underway in Seattle and the Touchback will bring it out to the 25-yard line where Geno Smith the Pro Bowl quarterback will make his way out completion percentage that leads the National Football League 29 touchdowns nine interceptions he's had firm control of this offense from the start of training camp Mark as he's been the starter and taken every single snap he absolutely has and he told us that was one of his preseason goals to take every snap once he was named the starter he's about to do it and let's see what happens they're fighting for their playoff lives it's wet it's sloppy it's slick we're only missing a slip and slide out here he's got to be sharp with that football on first down off the play fifth good protection and it's intercepted by Ricky Jalen Ramsey with a pick down the sideline and out of bounds DK Metcalf was the intended receiver and Gino Smith threw it right to the All-Pro well he just undercut it undercuts this little magra basically like a sting route you show hard play action up front low pad level by the offensive lineman try and sell run give them the illusion of run and Jalen Ramsey undercuts it makes a Savvy veteran play you see the opening there they got the opening at the second level with the linebackers they parted right there for Metcalf to run into it you'd love to see him come back downhill a little bit more friendly to the quarterback but overall just a great play by Jalen Ramsey and now first down and 10 for the Rams at the Seattle 11-yard line play action for Baker Mayfield pass deflected and incomplete Abram all over that chenaosu with the tip in its second down and even if he completed this ball watch after it gets tipped here look at Abram the former Raider signs here to help out in that run game because they lost Ryan Neal their safety number 26 he's got some serious slack to pick up he would have blown it up too at well in motion on second down this is acres and cam Acres who has been an absolute Revelation for the Rams late picks up four up the middle and here's Baker Mayfield came over this is his third team this season Cleveland Carolina Rams began the calendar year with the Browns then traded to Carolina and now a ram and you see that record there one or two I know he didn't technically start the game against the Raiders right obviously Wolford played the first three plays the first series and then Baker comes in but really this is about getting him to essentially a winning record for Rams quarterback this year and I know that sentence doesn't make sense based on the way they played third down and six quick toss Acres with the grab good tackle by Cody Barton his first career 100 tackle year stops him short of the first down just an excellent Tackle by Cody Barton you're going to see him fly to here as soon as he sees it he knows he has the half back and he had to go get an early step almost jumped the snap count to run away usually you're jumping the snap count to go get the quarterback to go make a tackle to time it up but he's jumping the snap count just to get away thank you 22-yard try from Matt gay Le Dixon to hold and the Rams on the board first that's a huge stop by the Seahawks no question Jalen Ramsey on the very first play gets the interception but the Rams are held to three join us in a moment of support and love for Demar and cheer for him and his family as they continue their fights foreign galvanized this week with one goal in mind watching Demar Hamlin bounce back from that horrific scene on Monday night and it's been so encouraging and awesome to see the recovery happening from afar we were all captivated by that on Monday night in horror but now today across the league we joined in celebration of what appears to be a miraculous recovery and we're so excited for him for his family and for everybody who follows the National Football League and really it was you know people say well you know Sports brings people together that was the ultimate example of a mark it brought everybody together behind one goal that young man it really wasn't I've never seen anything like it in my career being around this league for a while that was uh it was an intense moment I thought the coaches handled it well and uh so great and inspiring to hear that he's coming back and coming back strong so for Gino Smith the 16th game with at least one giveaway this season the very first play of the game an interception by Jalen Ramsey his third of the year but that Seattle defense really provided a shot in the arm for the team because they get the stop from the 11-yard line holding the Rams to just three points that was huge they got to be sharp here and also get Geno's confidence back a little bit you know Kate Johnson In Motion from the 25 it'll be Kenneth Walker who will get the carry first and Walker picks up five to the 30-yard line before Marquis Copeland can make the stop offensively for Seattle it's an offensive line with rookie bookend tackles Charles cross and Abraham Lucas back out there this week after missing last week with a tendon injury in the backfield we saw Kenneth Walker III second among all rookie running backs to Damian Pierce in yardage tops in rookie rushing touchdowns this year he's been tremendous extra linemen on the field for Seattle on second down it's Walker again a hole up the middle he's got a first down and more and Kenneth Walker to the 39-yard line picks up nine and a Seattle first down that was a good looking power play as they pull Tammy and Lewis from left to right into the left guard inside and lead the way here goes big 68 picking off Defenders along the way exactly what you want get Kenneth Walker Roland you got to steal Gino a quick completion here in these first 15 plays remember they're still in their opening script having that interception in the first play of the game but you see there are multiple personnels they went big now they're with two tight ends 12 Personnel there's Smith there's that easy completion you talked about Mark this to Noah fans and Out of Bounds at the 42-yard line let's take a look at the defense for the Los Angeles Rams the defense that it was without Aaron Donald that which is obviously a huge loss along that defensive line Laurel Murchison starting in his spot today Bobby Wagner the former Seahawk we've chronicled his story his 11th straight 100 tackle year coming back and Raheem Morris's defense to the town he called home for a decade and still calls it home he's still got a place up here and off to Walker again and Walker up the gut right into the arms of Ernest Brown the fourth and it'll bring up third down for Seattle but after that interception Raheem Morris has had to deal with the Run game of Kenneth Walker III sure have now they get to this third down let's see if what the story is what the plan is for Geno Smith I'd expect a little bit of pressure try and get him off his game a little bit move him around trying to get some Free Runners on them down and six Smith to the sideline for Lockett and Tyler lockett's First Catch gets a Seattle first down well it's just so much access for me here on this speed out watch him I think that's just a little soft there on this third down it looked like Trent was coming open underneath as well and once again I mean Bobby Wagner an absolute monster but if they get him one-on-one with the half back again be ready for that see if Shane Waldron switches this up and if Bobby's gonna play him man-to-man I'd I'd Sprint out that uh running back I'd get Kenneth Walker outside and line him up as a receiver and make Bobby cover there's Walker zigzags his way into the arms of Bobby Wagner an eight-yard pickup on the play for Walker just a little play out of the pistol you see the running back right behind Geno Smith getting two linemen out in front you see the game plan for them are these Gap trap type runs you saw the power with one puller that's more of a counter type play with two pullers in front of them that's the story and here goes DJ Dallas in the backfield look at this Wildcat we saw this a little bit in practice on Friday Dallas will fake the give he'll keep us outside the 15. Gabe Jackson The Right Guard leading the way and DJ Dallas rumbles his way down inside the foot watch the yard line for 29. he's gonna hit to the right quickly just to wait for his guys and then zigzag back underneath quick fake time it up let Noah get involved he collects rap in the secondary and springs him to the third level almost immediately doesn't even get touched till the very end of the Run huge play and why not if it ain't broke don't fix it to Wildcat well motion and you know move yep false start oh offense number seven it's a five round penalty first down getting in that receiver I'm not apologizing for him he can't move out there okay I've had my own share of troubles out there as a wide receiver trying to block for Brad Smith way back with the Jets but you see him he's just trying to stay off balance I've done that so many times in practice and you get so nervous going out there on an island because you know the best thing to do is honestly just stand straight don't try and get in a receiver stance don't try and fake it just be who you are get out there stand there and just eliminate yourself from the play nobody can miss you when you're out there a little bit so first at 15 and Walker picking his way forward for a yard or two not much there with Jonah Williams in the way and it'll bring up second down now for Seattle Red Zone touchdowns have been a problem 51 percent touchdown percentage 26th in the NFL they're one of the best Red Zone scoring teams in the National Football League but they settle for field goals time and time again and that's part of it you get a first year starter and Geno Smith putting these young rookie pieces together this thing's going to grow over time and gosh if they can get a win here today draft the right way with all the extra picks they got this team could be something serious in the future nobody opens Smith on the Run gonna have to use his legs and again this Turf is wet it has rained for most of the day now it doesn't appear to be doing too much in the rain Department right now but it was pouring pregame and the footing is going to be interesting on this surface in Seattle it really was slick conditions and you see it right there on the scramble looks decent right now Laura set up a deal where it would stop raining by the time take care of our girl down there tenth play this one these are the situations getting into third and long like this after the penalty that's why they're settling for field goals and not capitalizing and getting touchdowns down here Smith looking for a touchdown and it's knocked away from DK Metcalf by Troy Hill outstanding play by Hill to deny Metcalf foreign s he had to recover because Metcalf had him beat on this double post type look you see Noah fan occupying rap for just a second and that ball there's an old school West Coast play double post let the inside guy run to the free safety that's Taylor rap go shake hands with him and get him out of the play and then open it up for your outside big guy generally a big receiver running it just a tad late by Gino and an excellent play uh Defender Jason Myers from 37 to tie this one up and Myers just sneaks it in along the right upright the teams exchanging field goals early 3-3 Seattle and L.A [Music] 11 play 56-yard drive for Seattle they settle for a field goal after taking 6-19 off the clock knotted up at three a piece in a game Seattle must win to have a shot at making the playoffs they need to win then they need the Lions to beat the Packers tonight to go to the postseason let's get a game break our first of the day in Seattle with Carissa in Los Angeles thank you so much Kevin so Niners trailing six nothing Brock Purdy dumps it up to who else Christian McCaffrey who does the rest McCaffrey's 10th touchdown in 11 games with the Niners Niners up 7-6 yep hi Carissa Christian McCaffrey seemingly a solid pickup for the San Francisco 49ers this year I don't want to be that bold Mark so I'll let you be bold well the Rams were in on the McCaffrey sweepstakes and it just didn't work out but I'll tell you what it worked out is Kobe Bryant in the backfield his second sack of the season watch him show like he's gonna cover in the slot there takes off at the snap that one the halfback's got to go back for that and make it right you see cam anchors leaking out of the backfield and then Powell too saying hey my bad I got to get a piece of that guy to slow him down and give Baker Mayfield the chance second and 13 at the 22. Baker will keep fakes the option pitch and Baker Mayfield oh took a big hit and down at the 32-yard line action Clips soon boom get some of that right in the air hole here's played by Baker just to set up the third and short it's doing signaling third down and three Mayfield with pressure ladies in trouble and he's set the second time on the drive Bruce Urban's third sack of the Year [Applause] what's preserving [Music] [Applause] there he goes on the game then the tackle go first he goes and runs into Shelton catches the crease there and makes the most of it but credit to Seattle that defense I mean they locked up everything nobody had a chance on those routes fourth and 12 Dixon Dupont DJ Dallas from the 31. Dallas across the 40. Dallas across Midfield into Rams territory timeout in Seattle the Seattle defense with two sacks on the drive getting it back in good shape for the offense as Mark Sanchez called it earlier the Bobby Wagner Bowl underway in Seattle and in the pregame a lot of love for the long time member of the Seattle Seahawks players with plenty of hugs even the head coach with a big hug and Laura a lot of emotion down there for Bobby Wagner to deal with today it's a funny thing when you bring up emotions though to Bobby Wagner he said he's a master of emotions I thought that meant holding them in and he said actually the opposite it means embracing and expressing how you feel because the more you express the more you embrace the more you experience he said I I don't run away from emotions you know who also isn't Ernest Jones that's a linebacker that Bobby has taken under his wing or what Ernest would say was I am attached to his hip I asked Earnest what would this game this win mean to you and he said we are considering this the Super Bowl the Super Bowl for Bobby Wagner wow says a lot for the kind of person Bobby Wagner is in the locker room is Walker pop through to pick up yardage to the 45 Ernest Jones the aforementioned linebacker on a able to pull him down but I mean you can you talk about him with Pete Carroll he said the thing that stood out most his remarkable consistency they said he's a Hall of Famer oh no doubt and one of the best backers to do it in recent memory for me and haven't played against a guy just an absolute monster in the middle there and you see you know he knows he's in his last few years of playing and he's bringing these young guys along that's such a mature thing to do but here comes again watch this pressure off the edge comes up pressure Kobe Durant providing the late heat she don't need to take it that way and Gino Smith chugging for the first down chased out by Leonard Floyd that's where somebody has to keep contained on the opposite side see Leonard Floyd goes watch Leonard Floyd here he moves with Parkinson down the middle and that's where he loses contain right there he's got to get help inside from Bobby Brown 95. we cover that edge Bobby Brown My Prerogative it's not your prerogative to continue we give up big games Smith with time nobody open now turn in the corner again and Geno Smith out running Bobby Brown to the edge [Music] Gino Smith using the legs up and out move look at him spinning out that's a patented Oh no just flat-footed here buddy don't mess around he's standing straight dude what did I say from the Wildcat it's Walker getting to the edge and Walker for the first down inside the 25 and Diving down near the 23. good to see Gino Smith clocked into the booth this is this is what you suggested after his fall start were kind of teetered and tagged around look at that balance weight I like the feet just nice and flat all your cleats in the ground no messing around don't make this a tightrope back okay just get out there and you know eliminate yourself from the play if you're Jalen Ramsey are you excited about that because you've got to play offense we did this against the bills and I'm trying to fit this story in because it's a little long but leotis mckelvin is I'm walking out to the line of scrimmages screaming at me Chico's diving catchmade for 20 by fan the Otis McClellan is screaming at me I got you Sanchez I'm you know like he's gonna blow me up so he's talking all this smack as I'm walking out there well the Jets that that week showed me Brett Favre went out there and was messing around last year the year before I got there and he goes three-point stance with his hand down like he's going to run a 40. and he got blown up by a defensive back so it's already in my head and I'm overthinking it well he goes to Jammy at the snap and he stops and I flinched so bad like a total wussy out there it was so funny Todd the team killed me for that second at eight at the 20. so it could have been worse for Gino is what you're saying yeah no doubt just a simple penalty as long as we got the slo-mo replay on the second one oh Walker there's a field and a little oh do you call that a block from Geno The Tackle made by Rush East he made a it was a basketball screen yeah it was like a high screen in basketball but he's got to go reverse Field and watch Gino this is essentially what you want to do like just get in the way of the big bowl and then kind of move out of the way like a matador I loved it right there just slow him down knock him off track that's the way to go heads up play Man best ability availability Kevin it's true third and nine at the 21. we receive his top of the screen for Geno Smith and we've got a flag down and movement again Charles cross start offense number 67 it's a five yard penalty still third down first round left tackle Charles cross see him on the left side here just a little Flinch no got it but once again another penalty first Gino early in the game then Charles cross that's why again another third and 11 plus I mean these are these are tough situations it's over the middle as a man open it's caught by his tight end but short of the first down is Noah Fant Taylor wrapped with the ankle tackle after the eight yard gain and that'll bring on Jason Myers to try to give Seattle the late first quarter lead well that's been the story these penalties getting them into third and long they got to be more efficient on first and second down avoid the self-inflicted wounds and offensive penalties that are back backing them up now they got to settle for a 36-yarder if from 37 earlier this from 36. kick is good the Seattle Sea take the 6-3 lead we'll be right back after this message from Progressive now this is what's going on today in the hunt the Lions and Packers they play tonight but for Seattle and for Pete Carroll the only thing they were going to talk about with us when we met with them in their facilities on Friday was this game only thing we can control they'd say is this game and they know if they win then they have to become big fans of the Detroit Lions and hope that the Lions can knock off the Packers tonight I just thought that was interesting as we kind of pulled the players we just assumed you know hey these guys are going to be watching the game they'll probably have a watch party whatever most of the guys are like yeah I'm gonna be watching Netflix I can't watch I'm gonna be playing Call of Duty you know I did I do think coach Carroll will be watching them kind of hinted it at that so this is tonight Lions are three and 27 in their last 30 games at Lambeau Field and Aaron Rodgers 18-1 in December and January under Matt leflore however in game one between those two teams this year Lions won 15-9 they picked off Aaron Rodgers three times both teams are better or at least playing better than they were in that meeting earlier in the season that was coming back from dead I mean that was incredible everybody had written them off from the 25-yard line on first down well in motion Acres trying to find room to run slipped a little bit on his cut and then ran into the arms of Shelby Harris no gain on the play and that will take us to the end of quarter number one it's been a field goal Fest so far in this one a couple of sacks for the Seahawks a pick for the Rams and a 6-3 ball game after one negative 10 pass yards in that first quarter for the Rams with those two sacks from Seattle Seattle got it going on the ground 79 yards rushing in the first quarter no first downs yet for the Rams they Trail 6-3 they're three points coming after a Ramsey interception on the very first play of the game that turned into three points Seattle's done a great job but mixing up Personnel going big getting into phone booth and slugging it out with that run game let's see if the Rams can get some runs under their belt second and ten and the toss to Tyler Higby and Higby tumbling forward close to the first down it'll be a yard short Kobe Bryant on the tackle [Applause] the Mayfield getting a little Pace going with this offense on Third and one well in motion Acres the carrier move to the edge in acres down the sideline cam Acres lowers the shoulder into quandary digs and a first down for the Rams at the 34. of the Seattle Seahawks watch the block by Powell he's the one who's who Springs this thing he Nails Jonathan Abram there goes Mike Jackson looking at the fly sweep motion and they were Off to the Races stepped out of bounds before he delivered the blow at the end there but what about the Resurgence of Cam Acres talk about a Lazarus Story I mean it sounded like he was on the chop and block the training block he was out of there didn't sound like he was going to take another snap as a ram earlier in the season and here he is coming back having a couple great games to close out the season looking like the guy they drafted him to be acres to the 30-yard line that was the interesting part for cam Acres this week no Graham's running backs had back to back 100 yard game since CJ Anderson in 2018 until Akers is done at the last two games and we were talking with Sean McCain he said it's a real credit to him Thomas Brown's done a really good job with him he maximized his opportunities became a huge bright spot they've indicated that they're now not looking to move him in the off season so all of a sudden the guy who thought for sure he was gone wasn't even around the facility maybe an integral part of what they do next year interesting how it changes and how quickly you can get back into the fold second and six it's Acres again and Acres fights his way up the middle for a couple and Laura it was a pretty remarkable turnaround for cam Acres remember we had that game when Camp was sent home and reports said it was it Sean said that was a great illustration Sean we face out of why You Never Say Never and the importance of both sides saying I don't know how we got there but we're better than this they sat down and they acknowledged it can't hold him his responsibilities were and that they said what he could have done better he said cam is a great kid I'm so happy for him and for us with the job he's doing he's been a huge part of the Rams offense in the last month 33 Mayfield pressure comes Mayfield able to get away the first time but he cannot get away the second time for boyet mafe and the Seattle defense stands strong again in the field goal unit coming on for Los Angeles he's looking left first to Higby see that doesn't open up and I thought he would find the receiver right over the ball watch this he's looking left no and there goes van Jefferson slamming on the brakes it would have had to be a quick quick throw there's the out Abram all over that and just nothing there he wanted Hopkins tight end number 88. from 45 yards for Matt gay and the 100th made field goal in the career of Matt gay ties this game at six plenty of kicking early in Seattle [Music] Gino Smith beat all three of his former teams this season week seven beating the Chargers 37-23 took down the Giants the next week here in Seattle and finally Smith beat the New York Jets the team that drafted him on New Year's Day the first quarterback since Earl Moore in 1968 to beat at least three of his former teams in the same season second quarterback to make his first full goal in his 10th career here or later with Rich Gannon being the other 6-6 ball game Seattle and the Rams early second quarter here in Seattle [Music] [Applause] [Music] Smith the season in Seattle entering week 18 leads the NFL in completion percentage tied for fours in the NFL in touchdown passes selected to his first Pro Bowl and as mentioned beat all three of those former clubs yeah you would think so not so sleeveless in Seattle what is that invest It Wide Awake in Seattle probably staying at a Holiday Inn Express he must have it's down at 10 at the 25-yard line in movement again up front starts offense number 84 five-yard penalty first down come on go back to the beginning of the year when the trade occurred and a lot of folks thought it would be Drew lock who would be the starting quarterback on March 16th when Russell Wilson went to Denver but boy the quarterback comparison is really no comparison this year between Geno Smith and the guy he backed up a year ago nice run to the right side for Walker before he's tripped up at the 27-yard line by Ernest Jones I don't I don't know if anybody would have called that before the season right and it was interesting talking to coach Carroll that these last few years he's really shown some promise He's just never gotten the opportunity you know Russ Wilson just hadn't been hurt and uh there was no reason to get him in the game but he's shown it on Scout team and just steadily plugging away chipping away at it every single day coach Carol knew it foreign [Applause] and he's blasted by Ernest Jones really good play by the young linebacker from South Carolina he said he's learning from Bobby Wagner watch him diagnose here comes the motion and he stays steady and then fires right at the end right past Kenneth Walker Kenneth Walker has to get a better piece of him and protect the ball carrier right there to learn from that one and on that completion which was a negative completion Geno sets a new Seattle record passing Russell Wilson for completions I mean there's plenty of Records here to beat for Geno playing this whole season draw play to DJ Dallas and Dallas not going to be able to get anywhere close to the first down and Bobby wagon are going to Usher him all the way out of the stadium all over him [Applause] laughs probably just exchanging pleasantries yep want to come over after the season let's hang out Bobby doing a little talking we were I asked the other day you know who who's doing more talking is it DK goes no no it's quandary because it was funny because DK was the one on camera and we caught it a few times with our stud cameraman down there shout out to you guys but they I mean he was screaming it all the guys Ramsay and all that but he said it was really quandary yeah yeah he's just you know Brandon Powell cut down before he gets to the 35-yard line New Year same Bobby Wagner full of love for the Seahawks forget the Prime Time game I'm watching that there you go I don't want to watch Lions back I want that okay coming up tonight you're in you're winning Baker Mayfield and the Rams back to work all play action Mayfield throws it short Powell tried to pull it in behind him and Tariq Woolen the rookie from UTSA knocked it free but Woolen was all over this just these slides trying to escape and out leverage the defense ball thrown behind them [Applause] that doesn't have a chance oh gonna move the little face mask there and the comparisons we hit between him and Richard Sherman have just been uncanny with all those interceptions switching from the wide receiver to defensive back just like Sherman Stanford another incredible Corner they've drafted here in Seattle igb picks up three and brings up third down Rams hustling up to the live at the 35. Seahawks changing out Defenders foreign fast guys Seattle barely gets the exchange in time you see all that communication between these two Barton and Abram having to talk everything out Abram's new to this system third and seven oh field almost intercepted there is a flag down tease Tabor nearly his first NFL interception I think they're going to get Jackson Jonathan Abram just talking about him a moment ago mark so here we go he just doesn't let him get outside and there's Abram come off the two I don't know I mean you gotta have a plan as a receiver you can just run into guys and expect a call now in at left tackle for the Rams off play action Mayfield checks it short this is Cam Acres acres in the Seattle territory and down near the 47th Tanner Muse on the tackle we check in downstairs with Laura it's January at Seattle let's talk about some rain you guys said earlier it was raining I would say pretty hard the three of us would but I was told by everyone in Seattle this is that hard of a rain but I did talk to both equipment staff because it is starting to come down again I would say a little hard right now but what they said is the field is in great condition and so much better than what we anticipated so the rain is coming but as of Battlefield feels pretty good three of us were saying although it's just pouring rain Seattle people are like this is nothing first to ten 47-yard line Acres the carry and Acres plunges up the middle to the 44-yard line Michael Jackson on the stop giving four on the carry [Music] it's about time these defensive backs are getting called for Holdings and illegal contacts and all that but they're sitting at the sticks I need to see a double move here by somebody you saw how tight Ramsey was playing on DK Metcalf first play of the game you've seen how tight van Jefferson's getting coverage and respect from the Seattle secondary upstairs show one of these out and UPS give me something up on the second level but to do that you got to protect for play fake Mayfield on the roll and the flag as he underhands it to Van Jefferson at the 40-yard line there's a flag down in the backfield at about the 47 of the Rams we had both Chandler Brewer and cam acres in the area where the flag was dropped maybe Lyman downfield oh Los Angeles number 67 it's a 15-yard penalty replay second down yeah that's Chandler Brewer we were talking with Sean McVay about him he said he really struggled last week after coming back from injury oh well it's him and and acres really because he's engaged with Acres watch the c67-3 once if his hands are on him and he's engaged in any way with an offensive lineman you can't go low and cut him enough to eliminate a lot of those injuries NFL implementing that it makes sense you know the guy's kind of stood up and occupied by somebody that's how guys really get hurt glad they cleaned that up second down and 21 at the 42 after the penalty first on the Rams this is Acres that's another key for the 45 he goes picked up a three and a third and long for the Rams in a fast-moving second quarter 650 until halftime Rams back to the line quickly on Third and 18. four-man Rush Mayfield checks it short to acres Acres up the sideline and Acres well short of the first down as Jonathan Abram makes sure that he cannot get up the sidelines beyond the 47th pickup of eight and the punt team coming on for Los Angeles it's a great rally and Tackle by Abram he's following Baker Mayfield's eyes once again everybody's sitting right at the sticks jump in all these routes somebody's got to take advantage of it and it'd be a huge switching momentum and a change of momentum to dig out what barely got off the feet down at the 10 and could not pull it in trying to reach behind him was Rochelle to yank that ball back into play but he could not and it's a Touchback Seattle's defense doing its job see if the offense can get it moving when we return [Music] it's only one seat left at the NFC playoffs table six teams have already clinched their spot booked their reservation if you will at the restaurant Seattle has to beat the Rams and then have the Packers lose or tie to Detroit they need Seattle to Loser tied this afternoon plus they need to beat Green Bay that gets them there and for Green Bay it's easy win and you've got a seat at the table when the playoffs begin next week that game coming up tonight Seahawks need to win this game and then they become big lions fans hoping that the Lions can knock off the Packers at Lambeau to get Seattle into the postseason first down play action fake Smith on the roll pressure comes and he just flips it away before Bobby Brown could sack him we've called Bobby Brown's name a lot quite a bit he's been on the move let's check in with Laura Laura away uh we know that the head coach of the Seahawks is going to be paying close attention tonight right maybe he's the only one because coffee crazy I can't I can't watch party guy lock it watching Netflix he came back Call of Duty Gino said I don't want to jinx it what if Detroit loses because I watched it see that's what every fan does what if I jinx it because I watch it what if I Jinx something that Carissa Thompson tells us about in this game breaker right now well I don't know if you just said that Dak Prescott was going to throw an interception if you did you jinxed it seventh straight game with an INT this one returned for six extra point no good commanders leading this one Kevin 13-nothing I just said well one thing I know for sure Dak won't throw an interception and then we go to the game break and sure enough that's getting them out of the system before the playoffs big man on the move and then blasting into the backfield Walker gets buried by Ernest Brown big push up front for the Rams they weren't at all fooled by the kerhan motion motion but watch up the middle foreign she's coming over the walls on that one didn't have a chance I mean Walker couldn't even get to the line of scrimmage [Applause] 12 for Seattle there's a walker in the flat Walker breaks a tackle and Walker gets good yardage Ernest Jones had an opportunity to bring him down so Laura we know that Call of Duty Netflix Gino's Jinx is Pete at least going to watch this game the best part was us telling him all this and he was like what like they're not watching and he was like absolutely I'm watching I'm not having them come over but he said yes I'll be home watching but I thought this was interesting he said he actually didn't mind that that game isn't on right now he said sometimes that flashing scoreboard or the crowd War can blow your focus this is a young team do you believe that he's that he means that Mark you know Pete Carroll as well as anybody what that that he's happy the game's not being played right I think he's just given a reason why you may be happy that the game's not played right now makes sense I think we'll be right back after this message from State Farm Jalen Ramsey had an interception on play number one today his Rams defense looking to stymie Seattle on third down they converted their first third down of the day they're old for their last three this is third and two for the Seahawks see if they get locket involved here's third down weapon there [Applause] oceaning at the top of your screen Smith looking that way oh the ball is loosed was there a change of possession because Quentin laked the rookie from UCLA had it then coughed it up and Seattle gets the football back oh wow that's one way to get it first down Austin Blythe the center who started to play with the ball in his hands ends the play with a ball in his hands oh look at that just jumping in front of Parkinson [Applause] [Music] now they're ruling the pay the play an incomplete pass so never had possession never had the two steps the football move so watch this here comes the it's kind of like a vapor route there goes no offense and you Parkinson's job is to get in the vapor trail of Noah fan and then break off that inside move like a short post almost like a widened slant well Dean blandino this feels like we're talking about what is a catch but on this instance it's what is a catch from a defensive standpoint yeah it applies to a receiver or a Defender same rule he has to have control both feet down and then perform an act common to the game and lake is going to lose the ball just as that second step hits the ground there's no at comment to the game that's a good call of an incomplete pass fourth down and two and Seattle will have to pump this one away still a 6-6 ball game owl watch this one head to the sideline and go out of bounds time out in Seattle Rams offense and Baker Mayfield coming back out in a 6-6 game [Music] well quite the Hollywood flop for the Rams this season blown out by the bills 31-10 on opening night they got things going a little bit though got it back even to three and three entering the bye week but then the injury bug bit and it bit hard Matthew Stafford Aaron Donald Cooper cup and that really sent the Rams spiraling out of control 11 losses entering today most by a defending champ in the Super Bowl era and that brings out the hecklers wait on you he's headed to the booth whoa RJ Glazer in the pregame show today was talking about him some question as to whether Sean McVay is going to step aside after this season and you know recharge but Jay's reporting it you know it might be true good chance it is I mean I wish I could predicts stuff at that kind of clip like a Glazer gets all the info for us but that fan is like a notorious Heckler and troll for all the visiting teams he was all over Baker Mayfield when he ran out as if he was like you know just this Seahawks rival or something as Jay said a potential opening in Los Angeles that would mean Sean McVay goes somewhere else and obviously just a tremendous run of success including that Super Bowl win last year there's there's the guy there's quiet right now said troll silenced [Applause] Twitter trolls look tame with those signs and out in six backside pressure Mayfield on the run off the fingertips of his intended target Bryson Hopkins nuwosu providing the heat did Martin get a piece of that I think Martin gets a tiny piece of this throw watch yep yep you see the flight path interrupted like Cody Park oh look at that ring finger pinky finger it's all you need sometimes trying to find Hopkins again but both of these offense I mean shoot the defenses have just as good of a chance to score as the offense on both sides third and six Mayfield with time open van Jefferson down the sideline and into Seattle territory Out of Bounds at the 48 a pickup of 35 and a first down he's got help inside watch woman right here you'd love to see him playing with a little more cushion to the outside that's the only place he can get beat and Van Jefferson crosses him up oh and woman grabbed his ankle after that play oh what a tremendous year he's had you'd hate to see him go down Pro Bowl pick as a rookie as you can see on the end of this play for Tariq Woolen still down on the turf right now favoring his left leg oh we'll take a look at wolin's right ankle watch it's going to get clipped on Jefferson's right foot right there and he gets all his body weight on it ouch and then watch the way he stops right there just kind of tweaks it again and then he was limping off went in the blue tent but a guy like that I mean speed is his number one trait 4-2-6 in the combine that's the the calling card of the rookie to Rick wolin he's all right but that's gonna hurt a little bit 35-yard completion Baker was five of eight for 36 yards before that completion of 35. first down 10 at the 48. Seattle must win to have any shot at the postseason 6-6 ball game late first half Mayfield pressure up the middle floats it for Powell and Brandon Powell just couldn't adjust enough to pull that one in tough cover for Tanner Hughes but look at they're going to run everybody off and here goes Powell through the line and then sneaks up past the backers trying to show like it's a shallow cross all the way across the field and then sneak behind [Applause] Abram and Barton and the whole crew you see them run everybody off with 2-2 out well let's see if they try and take a shot on Trey Brown who came in for roller one just gets the snap Baker wants the tight end screen for Higby in the pass incomplete Daryl Taylor was covering higbee and looked like he had grabbed a little bit of the Jersey oh he's all alone Tyler Higby he's third and ten for the Rams 210 to play first half and a timeout is called so Seattle using the timeouts of Jonathan Abram doing jumping jacks there to get everybody's attention to get that time out cold tend to play in this first half Seattle has to take the timeout that's Mark Sanchez I'm Kevin coogler welcome to week 18 6-6 score in a game that Seattle absolutely has to have but it's been a defensive struggle so far it really has in both of these defenses have come to play holding all these uh both sides of these offenses just to field goals right now it's been slow and steady but something's going to break this game open it's either the double move I alluded to or a huge play a missed tackle catch and run a special team's play be ready for something especially for the Rams they can leave it all out there nothing on the line for this game third down and ten Baker sets it up blocking in front for Higby Tyler Higby with the first down to the 31-yard line that'll take us to the two-minute warning in Seattle 6-6 game but the Rams on the Move late [Music] Hecker looking forward to it just a moment ago Tariq Wallen out of the blue tent moving around on the sidelines testing that ankle old thumbs up there we go athletic training staff says good enough for us back out on the field see if they test him Rams getting things going this quarter offensively a little counter and that's Brandon Powell and Powell upended as he gets to the 16-yard line by quandre Diggs a 15-yard pickup in a first down but first he's got a motion then they're going to fake the toss here he comes and then he's going to come back around just a little sleight of hand from Baker Mayfield and all you want is just a half second advantage and frees those backers for just a half second to catch a crease there see the Rams taking advantage rain continuing to fall in Seattle first down and ten motion across from Atwell Acres the carry up the middle and cam Acres tripped up as he gets inside the 12. it's changed field goals throughout this first half there's that rain that continues to fall it has been raining for a better part of the entire day here in Seattle oh it's important when you get these slick conditions to make sure you know these throws can't be hide that's where you get tips and overthrows got to keep these footballs numbers and lower so they fall innocently to the ground if somebody drops it yeah a little end around it's that well to the end oh well to the end zone for a Rams touchdown [Applause] 11-yard touchdown run for 2-2 Atwell and the Rams Take the Lead huge play for the fun game and watch elbow's gonna go all the way around but watch it's really Higby missing on Irvin knowing that he can get the block later on right he has to decide is Irvin going to make this play no I can get around him Atwell can Circle him and that's really the scoring block the block on Mike Jackson that was huge Well Done by Higby [Applause] because Mark that's an immediate decision he has to make in the moment right and it's happening on the Fly it's you know it's happening so quickly watch him he's got to decide here is Irving gonna make this play right there 89 boom Bruce Irvin's far enough inside okay cool let's just get the Caravan rolling and let me get in front of them go make another block and it's this block right here on number 30. Mike Jackson that really Springs two to her he's having to cut back into other Defenders and that's not a touchdown you could see him as he turned that corner Mark he turned his head to the right like okay who else is coming after this go find work get somewhere Seattle just one time out remaining and remember the Rams won the toss and elected to defer so a chance for them to go ahead and double up here oh touchdown if they can get a stop of the final 39 of this first half that's right Rams with a real opportunity here that's that's big and being able to ride that run game getting tricky in the Run game remember faking the toss handed it inside [Music] and then the end around [Music] kick on for Matt gay it's a short kickoff a little bounce big with UK he looks for some room to run and he finds some little cut back and all the way out to the 40-yard line here Thomas with the tackle one time out 33 seconds to go in this half for Seattle with so much on the line if Seattle wins they have life if they do not Rally and they lose this game the season is over and then it's either the Lions or the Packers who represent that final spot in the NFC Playoff Picture [Music] remember that has not been kind to Detroit at Lambeau Field Geno's got to get about 50 yards-ish right around there 45 yards or so to get him in field goal position steps pressure early but he cannot step away from Michael Hoyt with four and a half sacks on the Year got to burn that time out not the way you want to start a two minute drive [Music] 97 peeling back see what he did he just collapses the pocket from the outside and instead of picking a lane going outside or inside at Gino he did a great job of just collecting him and waiting for Geno to designate which side he should get to well done and disciplined play from point is this starting to rain like crazy and you know who knows all about the rain because she's in it I never know if I should sound proud or like I'm too lazy way to go Laura says it's marking back this up completely the rain is coming down but if you look at the flags up top they're blowing down here on the field no wind and really at the end of the day that's all they care about down here no one no win because it is raining Smith to the sideline looking for lockets and a collision as the ball got there with Taylor Rapp the pass in complete Seahawks want a flag none on the field oh it's close watch lock it here and rap's gonna come in the screen might have got there yep just a smidge early I mean that's so hard to see if you're not watching it in slow-mo it's almost impossible the official to catch that one you see the gloves next to lock it he dumped his gloves right there on the field on the field and out of bounds is better if he's short of the first down the gloves are right there they got great tack you know when it's dry but as soon as it's wet those things are slick man he's got those 10 metal screws in the metal plate in his surgically repaired left hand you see the wrap on that left hand and just an Iron Man going with got to carry that guy off the field like it would have to lock him in the hotel room or something to make sure he didn't show up for this game he's that committed he loves this game that much [Applause] and that's why his teammates really care about him at least it all out there second three and out though for Seattle hunt Michael Dixon Brandon Powell will watch this one bounce out of bounds with 10 seconds to go in this first half well this last year has been something for Baker Mayfield made his last start for the Browns January 3rd of 2022 traded to Carolina on July 6th of 2022 released by Carolina on December 5th of 2022. the next day claimed by the Rams he thought it would happen he already had a plane ticket purchase four appearances entering today for Los Angeles four touchdowns one interception and now a knee to close this first half Seattle oh and six this year we're trailing at halftime we now go to Kurt Menifee in Los Angeles for the Horizon halftime report as we welcome you back to Seattle where the Seahawks Trail as we get ready to start the second half 13-6 that's Mark Sanchez I'm Kevin coogler a must win for Seattle or their season is over if they win they hope for the Lions to win to get into the playoffs but right now Seattle on the losing end of the score entire Straits right now their offense just looks a little stagnant they got to get Kenneth Walker Going 10 carries only 41 yards we got to beef up the Run game but more importantly their defense needs a huge stop they can't allow the Rams to double up on points they scored right before halftime this is a big possession for the Seahawks defense they got to shut down the Rams offense yeah Seahawks will be on defense first after the Rams won the toss and elected to defer Geno Smith his fifth career interception thrown on the first pass attempt of the game turned into three points Seahawks defense has been good but they could not keep too Atwell out of the end zone for his first career rushing touchdown but Bobby Wagner bullets the Rams who have the halftime lead second half about to get underway and it'll be Los Angeles football from the 25-yard line with the Touchback Laura open you had a chance to talk with both coaches what'd you find out I did well I talked to Sean 's touchdown drive and he's and he it was about that third version of a couple of big plays but he said really it was about the early down conversion and then it wants to make sure that early down efficiency keeps going right now I asked him it's the last half of this crazy 2022 season what was the message in the locker room and he said finish finish the right way and that's what they're hoping to do finish the right way in Seattle's season Seattle needs to win to get themselves at least in the conversation the playoffs as Acres picks up five on the first down carry and I'm not going to be surprised if as much as they can keep running this football for the Rams give it to acres let them Tote The Rock as many times as possible you control the game control possession time and possession and just bleed this clock out and don't even let Seattle get back into this game that's a game plan for sure [Applause] second and five acres again not much there for Acres so fight forward gets a couple and a huge third down early for Seattle's defense you talked about it just a moment ago Mark Seattle absolutely has to get this Rams offense off the field get their offense back out there oh without a doubt either a stop here on third down or a turnover would be just all time for these guys they'd already be in field goal range let's see if you know they try any of these double moves let's see if they slam it up in there in the Run game this is what you want these third and shorts give you a run game an opportunity you got your whole Playbook available third and two it is the Run game it is acres and it is close I don't think he got there based on the mark he did not reach the 35-yard line preserving fights through two blocks watch Big Bruce 51 right there on the Edge gets kind of lost in the shuffle between on that left side oh massive fourth down play Rams are 78 on Fourth this year the best rate in the NFL [Applause] they will go acres to carry in a first down for Los Angeles foreign watch this I think they get a little bit of an early start on the right side [Music] oh yeah yeah they got away with one there right they got off the ball like an accordion Chandler Brewer was the first one to go but nobody else went pass out of the box coach that's what you want he's down in 10. you set it downs and on first down Baker Mayfield off play action wants to go deep oh boy over the middle and it's deflected out of the hands of Van Jefferson in complete Tariq Woolen challenging that one we're watching Tariq Wallen he doesn't get fooled he doesn't totally get crossed up but Ben Jefferson is going to show like he's running the Deep Crosser and look at that closing speed even with the tweaked ankle Tariq Wallen I mean that guy's like an avatar out there [Applause] it was interesting talking to him he's like you know I had like 10 picks this year and I was like whoa but you go back and watch the tape on this guy and he has his hands on the football quite a bit and a couple times he said I was just thinking too much I gotta just go for the ball same thing right there go snag that football one out of the air looking for his tight end higbee and off his right hand incomplete well we mentioned the name Richard Sherman when we were talking with tariqua and he said look I love to be brought up with Richard Sherman who was another converted college-wide receiver his name carries a lot of weight around here he says but I'm doing my own Tariq Woolen that's right and that's what you want you know you learn learn about guys like that play with his style but you got to be yourself third and ten Mayfield in all kinds of trouble runs into a sack Daryl Taylor already a career high eight and a half now give him nine and a half sacks and the fourth Seattle sack of the day we'll bring the Rams punt team on and this is just a hustle sack but she's keeping contain on a contain on the outside gets jammed quickly then goes against the seki and doesn't quit so Seattle gets the Rams offense off the field DJ Dallas has to go all the way back to the nine to field this Punt and Rochelle right there to nudge him out of bounds near the 12-yard line Mayfield under heat fourth time he's been sacked today Seahawks offense back to work next scary coach Chuck Knox coached both of these franchises the Rams twice took over to Seattle at 83 led the Seahawks to the playoffs four times in nine years only person to win NFL coach of the year for three different teams and Pete Carroll tremendous coach in his own right getting a lot from his defense today sixth game this year with four sacks or more worst starting field position of the day for Seattle as they take over their own 12-yard line on first down here's Walker by Bobby Wagner buried for a loss near the 10. who else we'll watch him here goes Bobby read and react slips right behind the puller [Applause] them second and 11. Rams Rush four Smith surveys the field finds his tight ends in Colby Parkinson hits a Seattle first down Laura what Pete Carroll tell you at halftime he told me the key right now offensively to control and win third down I asked him with 30 minutes left to a game they have to win at a championship mindset he's been trying to instill into this young Team all year what did he tell them he said they are ready we are going to take the ball we are going to play Seahawk football and we're going to get it to DK Metcalf is also what I'm sure he told Laura SDK gets the first down to pick up a 24. well watch this I love how they're going empty formation with the 12 personnel those two big tight ends splitting out Kenneth Walker making linebackers cover defensive ends split out in cover just putting everybody in a tough spot Daniel Hardy had to step out number 44. and it looks like Taylor Rupp ended up on the wrong end of that Collision yeah the officials are signaling to Taylor Rapp to go to the sideline watch here that's a big body coming in there oh [Applause] Taylor Rapp will go in for it to be evaluated for a concussion the independent neurologist in the red hat went in as well spotter pointing that out from upstairs that the officials Usher ushering him out Rush East is out for the ram through the chest injury he came in for Nick Scott who's been out his shoulder the backfield Walker able to spin away from Floyd there's Gino out there blocking and long turns nothing into something and a first down out of Bounds at the 36. I think Bobby had him oh it's Leonard Floyd Adam in the backfield then he spins out of that thank you watch this there goes 54 Leonard Floyd oh got by the arm tackle and then the block from Geno first the block by the field judge right there blocking our vision gonna get Gina with the block in the long run of the day for Kenneth walked with 15 yards get Seattle a first down he's in a row they lined up with him offset Smith looking to the end zone and lock it in Tyler Lockett with the touchdown you kidding me a pin Point pass from Geno Smith and Seattle a chance to tie it up this is one of his best throws of the year I mean that was a tight spiral just lift out your shirt lock it and keep running don't break stride what a throw the revolutions on that football that thing was tight man [Applause] oh man way to cut it loose huge play extra point ties it up at 13. Tyler Lockett joins Steve Largent the only Seahawk with four straight 1 000 yard years and he ties the game at 13. pregame Tyler Lockett got the Steve Largent award they give it annually to the team contributor best exemplifying the spirit dedication and integrity of Steve Largent and now he has passed Steve Largent early joined Steve Largent rather as just the second player to go over a thousand yards four straight years well watch the subtle widen he takes that widened approach remember he lined up right about the edge of the numbers the bottom of the numbers and he gets just a couple yards and what he's doing is he's buying some space for himself to widen Hill and move him away from the safety who's gonna fight look at TJ Hill excuse me TJ Carter who's playing quarters and seeing the crossers in front of him he run Vic uh DK Metcalf in front of him he jumps and chases the cheese in front of him and there goes the one-on-one deep post route they're looking they're trying to figure out he's asking coach what do I do well remember Nick Scott is out Rush East is now out so it forces T.J Carter the rookie from TCU into a key situation like that the couple is trying to figure out what to do from the two-yard line looking for a little running room is Powell and he doesn't find much remember that secondary was just decimated right there rap was out yep you know so he's kind of like they're you know center fielder the quarterback of the back end he's got to get everybody lined up and situated and they run a perfect cover for Peter dialed up well by Shane Waldron and executed beautifully by Gino Smith and TJ Lockett yeah you can't throw it better than Gino Smith did there the answer for Seattle all right here we go we got a ball game kids tied at 13. what's the Rams answer Mayfield backside pressure from Kobe Bryant he has one sack today but Mayfield gets rid of it to Van Jefferson who gets the first down going out of Bounds at the 33 and pick up a 14. watch Kobe Bryant he's flying but there goes van Jefferson across over the backers and gets into phase with the quarterback beautiful ball by Baker Mayfield on the Run to kick into an extra gear there so he'd get run down from behind he and Van have picked up a good rapport quickly haven't they they really have and Van's one of those guys who makes the quarterback right his route disciplined his timing his spacing really understanding structures and defenses and how to beat him Baker gonna run a lot of room Baker Mayfield slides down with the Rams first down at the 43-yard line a pickup of 10. or once he sees Kobe Bryant and Barton right here once Bryant takes the underneath takes Higby underneath and Cody Barton went to go get underneath some of those deeper routes you see him his eyes darting back and forth between those two Defenders seeing all the space and taking advantage of it actually real estate foreign 43 first down Acres a little crease on the left side and acres to get the ball just across the Midfield stripe a pickup of eight before Barton and Abram can get the stop [Music] see if they have any more of these designer runs the end around we saw that like inside trap with the fake toss to Powell to Atwell if they get any he's going back in the lab going deep you know in games like this especially when it's the last one of the season I mean empty The Bucket Man Mayfield off the play Fade throws it back across his body to his tight end Tyler Higby with a Juggle there as he got popped but he gets the first down to the 45 a pickup before watch him directing traffic to Higby he's telling him right here watch go back inside inside Slow Down slow down and he was letting that defensive lineman clear it's the awareness right there by Baker igne's fourth Catch of the Day he's got a career high now with 72 catches of a season [Applause] play Action Pressure up the middle Mayfield throws on the run and he finds 2-2 Atwell Out of Bounds at the Seattle 25. good answer Brewing here for the Rams a 20-yard pickup generally don't work out he's got to go all the way across the field but they don't work out when you have to break contain like that thankfully hatwell kept on track on target that's a much wider catch point for that deep cross you want to be 18 to 22 yards in between the half of the numbers opposite side of the field that happened outside the numbers because Baker Mayfield had a run for his life on first down Acres again and Acres twists to the 20. pickup of four Alexander Johnson seeing his first action as a Seahawk after they signed him in late October he makes the tackle they just shot the Gap there on the back side the little rumplets a game Seattle must win to keep their hopes to be in the playoffs alive if they lose the winner of Lions Packers is going to the postseason Mayfield sweeps The Edge finds nothing there there's a design quarterback run would lead blockers in front [Music] watch this it just turns into triple option there's one here comes Higby going around Baker Mayfield's Gonna Keep it he's got the option right there to turn it up inside he gets stretched out to the outside and that's where the play goes to die another huge play for Seattle's defense here on third down and five just to hold him to a field goal would be huge you're gonna have to do it by getting pressure on Baker Mayfield let's see a little late pressure Mayfield on the Run he just throws this away he looked up saw Clinton Jefferson with a beat on him and just tossed it out of bounds Seattle gets the hole but the Rams with a chance to regain the lead I saw Acres coming out of the backfield he's got a three-way go on the option route look at they covered the the snag route they covered the corner there goes Higby on the post really a deeper in route and then Acres got gloved he didn't have anything there no chance from 38 for the lead for Matt gay pulled down from Riley Dixon and gay splits the uprights to give Los Angeles the 16-13 lead Graham's answer Gino Smith next up Coliseum no that place well I went to that last yes you did yeah cool yeah I was I was waiting for you to call invite me too and then you didn't but I but I you know afterwards when I asked you about it you said uh who is this why would I talk to you it's February that was a little harsh I like the performances it was a pitbull Ice Cube nothing says NASCAR like people you know what I mean absolutely you're saying it was a very good day to go together like peas and carrots baby well for Gino Smith it's been I wouldn't say it was a very good day it's been an okay day didn't start off with a good day Ramsey on the very first play with the interception and then Geno getting a little Redemption going deep with a beautiful toss to lock it for the touchdown and now Gino and Company down three late in the third in a game they have to win in order to have a shot at the postseason so listen that shows a ton of resolve and a ton of maturity for him to brush off that interception and be ready versus that quarter's coverage to hit the big alert on the post let's check it with war Oakland you know who didn't get caught up in the whole awesome Geno Smith comeback story like all of us Gino Smith he told us all year football is what I do not who I am but I love that he admitted it would be awesome to play in the playoffs he called it a lifelong dream I asked him what would it mean he answered everything but in Gino fashion that whistle mostly let's take care of something yeah exactly he gave that up quickly he gets a little help from gariki only here shedding The Tackle of Marquis Copeland and finally down after a 12-yard pickup but a first down [Applause] return he's playing to a big game watch the flip right there perfect motion timing and then look at that sending Lake right by him slamming on the brakes getting up the field that's one way to get more touches you know get a touch like that make something out of it coaches can catch their eye everybody Walker the running back gets the carry on first down that's a field for three to the 43-yard line for Gino the second half's been a little Kinder four for four 86 yards and the touchdown for Geno Smith but his team still Trails 16-13 late in the third here goes the Ramsay DK match up here that's what we want to start we happen to each other again off the play fake Smith looking oh no it's a second pick of the day for Jalen Ramsey his fourth of the Season Ramsey plunks it out of the air at the 41. Leonard Floyd with the hit on Geno Smith as he got rid of it and Ramsey with his second pick of the afternoon taking it away from Seattle and a must win for the Seahawks [Music] well here goes Geno Smith a quick fake and he's going to get outside but watch Tariq young is trying to pin Leonard Floyd inside and you never want to set up here if you can avoid it this right here in between the hash and the numbers as you creep towards the numbers that's the Dead Man's own he was expecting DK Metcalf to slow down in that zone and kind of mirror him and put a ball on him and slow him down right here he's kind of waiting for him to slam on the brakes and and reveal himself to the quarterback but you see he has to air Mill that ball a little bit when he takes a huge hit from Leonard Floyd and you see the frustration for Geno Smith just stay on the Move Get outside of it you might have a chance to run for a couple of a couple yards and live to see the next down but just an unfortunate play and he forced it first time as a ram Jalen Ramsey has had two interceptions in the same game cam Akers picks his way to the edge to the 46th yard line a pickup of five last time he did it was with Jacksonville against the Steelers November 18th of 2018 and Jalen Ramsey who in the first meeting did not stop talking to DK metcap and DK didn't stop talking to him that was fun this has been a quieting day Jalen Ramsey has kept the Seahawks from chatting much with his performance this afternoon well the first play of the game Ramsey gets a interception and the defense held him to a field goal they really bailed out Geno Smith let's see if they can do it again second and five of the 46. again it's Acres with a hole Acres trying to cut back and he's caught by Cody Barton at the Seattle 44 but 10 yards in first there's that patented Zone run for Acres boom did you see that Collision on the edge oh man oh oh buddy options are banged around a little bit Higby down on one knee on the sideline Acres one yard away from his third straight 100 yard day he could be the first Ram to do it since Gurley in 2015. Baker Mayfield in trouble and he's going to be sacked for the fifth time second today for Bruce Urban the fourth of the year The Savvy vet move gets inside and then retraces it runs down Baker Mayfield we're serving plenty of gas in the tank how many times have we seen him do that throw quarterbacks around like a ragdoll [Applause] oh Baker tried to throw that ball you see that yep it would have been disaster Seattle defense trying to turn him away again second and 17. back of the ram 49. drop play to acres he's over a hundred on the season or on the day rather third straight game over a hundred yards for cam Acres and that'll take us to the end of quarter number three Seattle has to win to keep their hopes alive they Trail by three [Music] Los Angeles Rams have gotten some terrific play from their secondary Jalen Ramsey Troy Hill with a big breakup on a pass intended for D.K Metcalf Ramsey's second interception of the day another 15 minutes away from spoiling Seattle's playoff chances and making the city of Detroit very very happy because it would mean that the Lions and Packers if Seattle got their rally in the fourth they would play for the final playoff are they watching this game they got to have it on in their deal too right he would think I mean you got to warm up a little bit because the Rams help their former quarterback and Jared Goff that's what they're trying to do third and 12th quick toss to Powell Powell bumps into a blocker that slowed him up he couldn't get around Van Jefferson and a two-yard game but the Seattle defense gets the Stop and the Rams will have to punt they've really answered the Bell after the two Geno Smith interceptions they've come back strong but watch how quickly they diagnose this and watch Kobe Bryant stays with it sheds a blocker keeps his outside contained while attacking it's exactly what you want you never want to get circled out on the edge right there and watch a ball carrier go outside of you great Fundamentals by Kobe Bryant Riley Dixon will try to pin the Seahawks deep a short Punt and it'll be down at about the 18-yard line by Quentin Lake so this is what is at stake today in this final quarter Sean mcvay's team just trying to get a win and close the season as he told Laura Oakman on the right note for Pete Carroll he wants to keep his Seahawks in the hunt he wants to have something to watch on TV tonight to feel good about can he see his team going to the postseason he can't if they don't rally here in the fourth got a rally and come back here leave it all out there [Applause] Crystal formation on first down at the 17-yard line look at how wide that stack is out to the bottom of the screen they're just doing it to get numbers in the Run game keep some players away and then they get it look at just six guys in the Box they know they have the right numbers Leonard Floyd makes a tackle but not after a substantial game Kenneth Walker has gone over a thousand yards rushing on the season with that carry second most ever by a rookie in Seattle with more you'll get another Carry On Second and four trying to cut it back but Bobby Wagner there to make the tackle not much going on for Kenneth Walker so Walker over a thousand yards rushing he's also as you might imagine over a thousand scrimmage yards joining DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett just the second time in franchise history the Seahawks have had three over a thousand yards is that going to be enough offense in this fourth quarter to overcome the three-point deficit and keep their playoff hopes alive Tyler Lockett in his eighth year still has plenty of gas in the tank they get DK Metcalf Kenneth Walker I mean those guys are coming back this is the beginning of something special for Seattle they can capitalize today make a push for this playoff game Floyd unmolested into the backfield Dallas with the catch but Taylor wrapped who was in the blue tent earlier got cleared to come back and Raph wraps up Dallas you see Leonard Floyd he's going to come free until the rap has to replace dangerous throw what a snack Hey DJ Dallas I'm better off than let that one hit the turf avoid the Hedge and avoid the hit Brandon Powell the Deep man third three and out today forced by the Rams defense on offense there after a couple good runs [Applause] 27 Powell gets across from 35 before he goes down these field position for the Rams Pike Place Mark had always hopping in Seattle quiet now as they try to wield their Seahawks to a win the NFL playoffs are here and it all starts with super Wild Card Weekend presented by Verizon 12 teams six games three days one Epic weekend the road to Super Bowl 57 Starts Here stay tuned after the games today for the announcement of the full schedule but we welcome you back here to Seattle Washington for week 18 that's Mark Sanchez I'm Kevin coogler it comes down to this fourth quarter Mark Seattle has to Rally they've got to get some offense generated they're down three yeah I think the Rams and Raheem Morris his defense is doing an excellent job of pressuring Geno and then his hot answer when they get the free runner somebody usually is peaking for him to give him a quick answer they've covered that guy up and making him get to his second and third options but they have no time so shout out Rahim Morris for making it tough on Gino Smith see if they lean on that run game again Acres over 100 yards for the third straight game and he picks up three on first down it's a luxury to have for the Rams who didn't know what the future was for cam Acres earlier and was gone from this team in the middle of the season has come back and now three straight games with a hundred rushing yards the first Ram since Todd Gurley in 2015. and that's exactly why they drafted him thank you in the second round they love this kid out of Florida State and he's really starting to come into his own against a linebacking core that's just been decimated by a huge injury last week in Jordan Brooks pressure again on Baker and he has to throw this one away Jefferson was the first to pop through then Alexander Johnson joined the chase that's third and seven it was just a huge blow to this Seattle defense and Coach Carroll talked about it but he said man that's one of our best defenders if not the best best athlete yeah best athlete on the team now you know Cody Barton just kind of take his spot Tanner Muse came in for a little bit Seymour Alexander yeah Alexander Johnson Tennessee volunteer getting in now they got Muse in Barton in the linebacker spots third and seventh Seahawks Rush four Mayfield to the sidelines there's van Jefferson at a first down picks up 12. what a throw and you see all this access he's getting from Willen that's why you're getting these bunches and stacks look at how much space there is he's just gonna run the speed out Baker Mayfield that's all timing to your left from the right hash pushing that ball all the way outside great footwork and great trust by Baker Mayfield He's Got To Cut That Thing loose before Ben Jefferson even turns and makes his break what's been a weird year for Baker Mayfield there's no doubt about that but he has developed some quick chemistry with Van Jefferson he really has and he's kept a clean slate with no interceptions Acres stopped on a dime and a drop by nuwosu for a loss back near the 46 as we go downstairs with Laura and this is a big deal right now Rams are trying to drive down this field right now tying seki isn't in there he is out right now questionable to return with a wrist injury also Tyler higby's been in there but this last Drive they were off the field between Tyler and Higby between Bryson Hopkins they were both getting tended to right now this offense is beat up super cup they'd like to see him take that headset off and toss that play sheet down and get back out on the field but they haven't had him since week 10. it has been a team decimated by injury second 15 of the 45 Mayfield over the middle knocked away outstanding play by Jackson taking it away from Van Jefferson and this is Ben Jefferson on a little in route but Jackson if you're going to cut underneath that throw you got to make a play and thankfully for him that's a gamble undercutting that because if he catches that he could split and score Baker Mayfield with the Aaron throw and Mike Jackson making a pay on Third and 15 airing it out for Atwell and it's complete Jackson with excellent coverage and the Seattle defense does it again stops the Rams 9 42 to go in the fourth Seahawks defense doing their job right now see if Geno Smith and the offense can figure out a way to put some yards together Tyler Lockett is the Deep man trying to add a little spark of the return game [Applause] listen hangs this one up Lockett weaving for the fair Catch and he'll make it into the 15-yard line [Applause] kept an eye on these two after last meeting between D.K Metcalf and Jalen Ramsey today it's Jalen Ramsey who's got the better of that matchup the first one was play one out of the gate foreign [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] the receiving end of that toss from Geno Smith across the 20-yard line sacks did Wagner in the first meeting between these two and a pick and a pick it's all over 1300 tackles for Wagner and seahawk uniform six-time All-Pro it's down to Los Angeles and well over 100 tackles again this year [Applause] but he looked up and saw Jones in his face and he just couldn't get enough on that throw to get it to lock it [Applause] we'll lock it watch him stair step this route over the ball to try and create some space between him and Troy Hill oh and that's why Gino might have had that but he just couldn't quite finish the throw and directed exactly where he wanted because of Leonard Floyd was all over him karate chopped to the armpit one for seven on third down today is Seattle third and three Smith throws incomplete locket diving for it Ramsey in the area and it's fourth down again for Seattle on the punt team coming out but watch this he's going to start outside get back underneath and expect DK Metcalf to try and rub one of those Defenders you know just not getting a clean pocket having to throw around Defenders having to move quite a bit just unsettled there all day it's been clean he's been all right [Applause] they needed to do something on offense there why so that's two drives last two drives have been and a flag is down Dixon got hit it's Fourth and three and Dixon went down running or roughing either way Seattle's going to get a huge break and the offense will be back out on the field if it is indeed a penalty we just got kind of pushed into it I don't know there's a conversation here we have not heard from Craig rolstad yet is Jonah Williams who collides with fixing the kicker [Applause] I don't know is with us in our Fox Studios in Los Angeles what do you think of this call running into the kicker Dean yeah looking at it he gets a clean Landing space he's got both feet on the ground it didn't look like a lot of contact you're only really going to look for roughing there if it's something significant or nothing I like this as a nothing and instead it's a something oh wow and it gives Seattle a first down that is a giant penalty can Gino Smith in this offense take advantage of the recruits true hand the Big Man in Motion Smith off the play fit bootlegs to the right gonna run and not going to find any room Blake shut the door on him on the edge and frustration for Geno foreign Oscar or something falling down and absorbing the hit he didn't fool Dean though no that counts as a sack for the Rams it's their sixth sack today [Applause] I believe their fourth sack of the day Seattle has five a 30 second timeout and Geno very frustrated with the offense right now watch the reaction [Music] well the stakes are high for Seattle we've talked about it all day long Seattle clinches a playoff birth with a win and a lions winner tie tonight [Music] Drive stayed alive with this penalty running into the kicker from Jonah Williams kind of tried to catch him well done by Dixon [Applause] look at that oh no second down at 11. Greek young the motion Man action Smith he's got his tight end it's Parkinson and Parkinson into Rams territory and down at the 43. we'll watch him just sneak past the backers right here and run a little sail route a corner route and well done you see him he knows nobody's near me and he just kind of reveals himself to the quarterback slows down in the window turns around gives him his hands and his numbers and here goes the tempo you hear him yelling Ringo they're sending the offensive line to block here Smith to the sideline that's Derek young his first career catch and a first down to the 31. we mentioned it earlier they gave him the little fly sweep or the the quick little toss out of the out of the shotgun he made something happen made a guy Miss positive yards and there he goes well that catches his second catch because the fly sweep went as a catch so now technically two catches for young [Applause] just down in 10. at the 31. Smith finds Metcalf Ramsey right there Seattle to the 25 of the Rams and where's that match up again a little late by Jones but just an isolation route you have Metcalf all alone by himself Bunch opposite played by Jones crowds watching Ernest Jones come in there and everybody from Seattle's telling everybody all the players like hey we don't care move on let's go second down and four coming up on six minutes to play [Applause] down close to the first down his first Kerry since 2020. sure hands explore more of a special teams guy what got a chance on offense almost got the first down [Applause] so now third and one remember third down has been a problem today for Seattle they're one for eight on third that's been the problem but I would not be surprised to see a run right up the gut with Walker he needs a yard for the first [Applause] toss play to Walker in trouble Walker trying to find a crease and he didn't get there he is short of the first down oh my see I didn't know why they're trying to pin the guys on the edge and get him outside so when he slowed down right here field goal try and they're going to keep the offense on the field and go for it they brought in two extra linemen Forsyth and crew hand replacing Walker you're not going to see now time out I'm not gonna see a toss right here I was gonna say they're gonna slam it up in there Seattle the 32nd night so this was the third and short play see watch he's gonna hesitate right here before he starts to Bounce It Outside generally you just want to get outside as fast as possible you see Parkinson was trying to pin the edge man inside Leonard Floyd but he's kind of reading Bobby Wagner over the top and Bobby was flying I'll leverage that thing keep him inside 11 of 20 is Seattle on fourth down this would be almost a Chip Shot for Jason Myers the Pro Bowl kicker do you like the call on to go for it here down three I think you got to I mean what else you got to leave it out here on the field but this is here's that pony personnel with the two halfbacks see if they try and hand it inside or if they dare get Gino out on the Run there they go big play Walker to the edge to the 13. they faked the inside handoff and watch Gino this is the illusion they're trying to give fake the dive and then get Walker out on the edge see how he reverses out doesn't even have to show the ball but gives him a good nice easy toss gutsy call by coach Carroll leaving it all out there on the field I mean it's all for nod if you don't win this game right at least you know if he's having a watch party for the Detroit Lions he got to win the game or else there's no watch part first down in 10. 11th play of the drive coming up a drive kept Alive by running into the kicker pressure comes Smith on the Run Smith slides down inside the five a nine yard Scramble for Geno Smith great awareness by Gino I thought he was gonna dump this off underneath throw the canine a bone he fakes it to him gets a few more yards it gets down before a big hit huge play they got to get a first down here just get a free set of downs and then take shots at the end zone there's that first down and more Walker driving himself inside the three to the two all right first down and goal now for Seattle we're coming up on three minutes to play in the fourth this drive kept Alive by a running into the kicker called the dean blandino did not like as a call they keep this drive marching and now two yards away from a go ahead touchdown I mean this is huge that's you know Kenneth Walker he gets momentum as the game goes on as you feed him a little more more touches and then he just comes alive you see his legs churning on that last run he's finishing downhill see if they give him another shot at first and goal from the two it's Walker again and the Walker Burrows to the one nothing wrong with that just let it go to the warning well they're not going to get the chance to do so because Sean McVay came sprinting down and called time out the first used by the Rams trying to buy time for Baker Mayfield in case they need to Rally exactly right smart play by McVeigh understanding the situation stopping the clock now while you got plenty of timeouts Seattle remember they burned one of theirs earlier shouldn't needed here this time an old trying to win themselves into a position where with a Lions win they would be playoff bound they have yet to fail this year on first and goal to go inside the five they're perfect in every opportunity this season all six chances they've had they have scored touchdowns here comes the big guys there goes velor a full back should they give him another touch just hand it tonight Walker the carry Walker bouncing Walker turning and Ramsey saves the touchdown I mean he wants it man the Bobby Wagner won't mean something to number five watch this on the edge Kenneth Walker could really Scoot and watch Ramsay turn on the Jets with that long stride cutting him off well now you gotta imagine they got two downs right I mean if they went for it earlier might do it again who knows what coach Carroll's got up his sleeve third down and goal [Applause] 2 21 to go in the fourth [Applause] play clock gonna wind down and Seattle will use timeout [Applause] penalty that was called that kept this drive alive Jonah Williams called on Fourth and three for running into the punter Michael Dixon that gave Seattle a second chance and the Seahawks have to this point been able to take advantage of it but now a third and goal Seattle out of timeouts the ball inside the two for Gino Smith Kenneth Walker and the Seahawks offense I mean they have all the momentum right now I think that's why they went for it earlier Seattle that is after that crucial play on special teams and the mishap for the Rams they've taken full advantage and Gino's been sharp on this drive see if they get him on the move on this play and then potentially slamming up in there on the fourth down if they don't get it plenty of options here but shoot don't make it an adventure man just hand it off to nine get some big guys in front oh no third down and goal Smith gives it to Walker he will not get there Taylor wrapped went low and dropped him for a loss it's fourth down and the field goal unit coming on and who else but Bobby Brown inside first getting the push [Music] oh man and he loses yards I think if he would have got back to the line of scrimmage potentially they'd go for it but with all that momentum they had now at the four yard line losing a couple so Myers coming on to try to tie it with a field goal after the Rams use their second timeout 223 to go in the fourth [Music] Los Angeles still playing awfully hard in this game and for the first time this season Seattle on a first and goal situation inside the five failed to score a touchdown really an opportunity lost there we're going to tie it up and put it on the defense 22-yard try is good and we are tied at 16. 219 to go Seahawks try to keep the season alive [Music] historic season for Geno Smith Breaking franchise records for completions attempts completion percentage and pass yards but Gino Smith wants one more thing he wants the chance to push his team into the postseason they could not cash in on first and goal inside the five a 16-16 game 2 19 to go Gino hoping to have one more opportunity with his offense but that's going to come down to the Seattle defense and Baker Mayfield in this Rams offense 219 to go Rams have one time out and the two minute warning to try to spoil the Seahawks season Baker Mayfield's done it before in these circumstances against the Raiders on Thursday night shoot this is his first chance he'd only been there a couple days goes in and wins the game well that Rams defense under defensive coordinator Rahim Morris has come up big today goal line stand sniffing out Kenneth Walker the third Jalen Ramsey who's put a whale of a game today got to the edge and made that tackle and then on third down Taylor rap finishing him off he couldn't even get to the line of scrimmage clean it wasn't on Walker they got blown up up front let's see what Baker Mayfield has to say about this one I thought it was interesting hearing him talk about that first game and that game when he drives trying to engineer another one here starts with Acres he gets a couple to the 27th Jackson on the tackle and that will likely take us to the two minute warning Rams 16. Seattle 16. it comes down to two minutes in the regular season for Seattle they need a win to stay alive [Music] [Applause] well if you're watching in Lambeau Field hello if you're watching in the state of Michigan hello a lot on the line for the Lions and Packers based on what happens here in Seattle where the Seahawks and the Rams are tied at 16 and Pete Carroll wants his crowd involved waving to get the 12th man active you got to get everything everything going whatever you can do whatever you can muster up because all the Rams need is a field goal right here I think there's got to be smart can't allow any negative Place second and eight van Jefferson and it's third down just a miss you kind of had to double tap on that front look on their front foot waiting for him to clear and get in the zone he just missed the throw third and eight Seahawks bring pressure Baker's in trouble able to get away Mayfield on the Run throws it is caught by Atwell short of the first down by two yards [Applause] Jackson on the tackle Seattle no timeouts they cannot stop the clock sure Shelby Harris with the pressure Taylor in there with the pressure [Applause] can't go for it here they're bringing the punt team out Riley Dixon and Company making their way out under the field they're going to take their time use as much clock as you can second three and out pitched by the Seattle defense today what a time for it fourth and two Dixon will pop Tyler Lockett the Deep man good Puck by Dixon he'll go over lockett's head and it's going to die and then trickle into the end zone for the Touchback it could slow down [Applause] oh he couldn't slow down [Applause] look at he's trying to hit the e-brake right there oh he whipped oh and then look at that just goes to the goal line the Rochelle says no and Sean McBain says no so to the 20 yard line Seattle no timeout we're gonna have to take our word for it yeah really upset he did say that he was Frozen with rain Frozen okay here we go no timeouts give me some positive yards on this first one a quick easy completion Myers career long is 61. first one is to Cade Johnson his first catch and Johnson the former Jack Rabbit of South Dakota State hops out to the 30 and gets a first down but he really has a skill set and body type kind of like Tyler Lockett coach Carroll was raving about him this week Smith get a step up and run make a beeline for the sidelines and Gino showing the speed teams are flying oh DK get out of there he's got to get out of there and the Flop did you see that Shout Out World Cup that was a flop right there look at Ramsay trying to get the flag back oh he's played an outstanding game today but the flag May cost the Rams ay roughness oh wow look at this whole montage right here this is amazing thank you so Gino with the big run look at but Ramsay's just kind of standing there you know Gino does a good job actually running into him Ramsay just stays there and then Metcalf gets away with one put his fingers in his face mask and then Ramsay with the flop and he draws the foul team blandino what do you make of all this yeah this is a tough one for Ramsay because Gino's going straight up right field he's not angling out of bounds and Ramsay's kind of just standing there holding his ground that's tough and then Metcalf when he puts his finger and Ramsay's face that's a foul too so there's a lot to work through this but again that's a tough one on Ramsay because Gino's going straight up the field and Geno Smith was still down but now back up again you can hear the crowd chanting Gino Gino Gino on the long run of the season for Gino 25 yards here's the other thing Gino Gino looked fast yeah I mean he took off and outran a couple Defenders to gain all that gain all those yards on the edge Drew lock almost coming in coming in for him [Applause] that whole series of events no timeouts and they two seconds to play I think if you're Ramsay the player right there is to try and get out of the way but he's also kind of guarding himself to go either way there's Walker finds a little hole and then is stacked up after a two-yard gain at the 28. again no timeouts remain for Seattle clock continuing to run you gotta go [Applause] to center it here you know says Locker pocket with four Spike this ball and there's the spike and that'll bring Jason Myers on to try to keep Seattle's playoff hopes alive foreign Myers with one swing of the leg can eliminate the Detroit Lions but then everybody in this part of the country becomes a huge Lions fan just bringing people DK he's got to get off the field what's he doing holy smoke I mean he ran back out on the field to go fight to go fight Ramsey I mean bro come on you got the game and the balance here there's no time for that 46-yard try and the Rams are going to use their final timeout to try to ICE Jason Myers the Pro Bowl kicker coach look at coach all over him right now reminding him remember he talked about the epitome of poise he's pointing at the clock right now he's saying look at the situation it's not that serious tighten up lock in boom you see the fist bump it's so much more important it's so much bigger than your you know altercation with another player right now right there's more at stake here and that's a great lesson for for a guy like DK and Coach Carroll that's his philosophy at work right basically letting these guys be who they are but at the same time you got to be able to reel it back in you got to get back to Center and you got to realize what's at stake it's all bigger than us right we're just cogs in this whole deal Let's help each other out and be smart 46 yard try for the win and for playoff life Dixon the holder the snap is down the kick is on the way and it is off the upright it is off the right upright get out of here Myers doinks it off the upright and it's overtime in Seattle look at Dixon was waving the ball to the left oh no good snap good hold oh God are you kidding me [Applause] just the third Miss of the year for Jason Myers and Sean McVeigh and the Rams keep it going unbelievable captains we will now begin one 10-minute overtime period both teams will have the opportunity because that's the ball unless the team first in possession scores a touchdown there's a safety or they hold the ball for all 10 minutes fourth quarter timing rules apply both teams are allowed two timeouts and all replays will be initiated from the replay booth if after 10 minutes the game's a tie it's something declared a tie Los Angeles University the visiting team the Seahawk head is the heads the NFL shield is Tails what is it called tells his call in his heads [Applause] Seattle will receive to start overtime best of luck so Gino in the offense to work when we return why because this field goal clanks off the upright in Seattle over time next [Music] we welcome our audience who is watching Arizona San Francisco with Mark Sanchez and Laura Oakman I'm Kevin coogler we are going to overtime thanks to a field goal going off the upright by Jason Myers that would have won it for Seattle instead it's overtime Seattle won the toss they'll take the football to start the OT in the kickoff through the end zone for a Touchback here's why we're in overtime if you're just joining us you're just clicking over late Jason Myers as Seattle got into position had a chance to win it with a field goal and it's off the upright here in Seattle so Myers and the Seahawks just the third Miss of the year for Jason Myers then they win the toss and they start overtime at their own 25. that's a great drive by Gino Smith mostly using his legs that was the biggest play of the drive him on the scramble and then the penalty by Ramsey with the hit out of bounds questionable call regardless here we are little bonus football and Walker up the middle for a couple might be worth keeping an eye on this drive mark on D.K Metcalf and jalenzie because DK got a coaching point from Pete Carroll after the end of that last Drive you're exactly right and these two guys lined up on each other almost all day long foreign there's the flat route there's a slant right behind it see I'm still waiting on that double move I know they tried it earlier [Applause] excuse me that was a ranch who tried the double move Seattle still hasn't gone to the well with the double move and Ramsay just I mean this is when he capitalize on guys emotions trying to jump those routes he's gotten two picks already today getting a little greedy see if he'd bite on one of these and end this thing but the nail in the coffin and walk off on third down pressure coming Gino flush and he has to throw it away Rams defense does it again Bobby Wagner with the heat down look at McVeigh he's screaming at the ref because this ball did not get past the line of scrimmage good point let's see if he's still in the pocket and Sean McVay wants to know why that's not intentional grounding does Sean McVeigh have a point yeah it's got to get past the line no let's have a point Gino does get out of the pocket but the ball oh that's enough make it back to the line of scrimmage and it did not and there's no receiver in the area remember the last time they had the three and out there was a running into the kicker call this time Dixon stays upright and they're trying to set up the return Brandon Powell from the 20 tripped up at the 25-yard line really good coverage by Tariq young how about Tariq young he's got two catches two crucial catches to get first downs and then a big play on special teams he's making a case for himself should this team continue in the postseason he's ready to be a part of it he can handle the stage he can handle it what a day for him foreign [Applause] at the 26-yard line oh you're trouble he tried to hand it off and instead Shelby Harris blows it up along with her chenanuosu thank you watch Shelby Harris penetrate immediately he's supposed to get that ball back underneath that little trap route he's going to fake the toss and then there goes Powell Bakers tucks it again and the crowds all over it it's getting loud Seattle is eliminated with a tie and a Washington win Washington's leading Dallas 26-6 a file that away for later the OT second down Diggs [Applause] out of nowhere with his fourth pick of the Year oh just too much air under the ball I mean that thing went over the Space Needle down the street I mean geez Louise he's got to cut that thing loose it takes the mirror out of it throw it right at him and watch he's just going to run that deep corner from the inside slot he had him all the way either flattened him off to the sidelines or launched this thing and it gets hotter on the 20-yard line you see Ben Jefferson Jefferson having to slow down Oh What A Catch by quandary Diggs and then he goes taunting the team right in front of him mascots fired up everybody doing the is that the Angels in the Outfield deal that's the Seahawk oh that's right yep that's right they are the Seattle seal thanks you're welcome and we've got a whistle and a timeout oh Jesus by Seattle so we saw digs going up the sideline at the Rams and you mentioned it letting the Rams know Dean blandino that usually gets a taunting call it usually does it's always been directed at the opponent the bench area included you're gonna see Diggs make the great play and then he's clearly going to point the ball at the Rams players oh Bobby Wagner that's taunting he pointed it right at Bobby Wagner on the sidelines but no flag comes in and the former lion may end the Lion's hopes with that interception that was just an incredible catch over the shoulder Willie Mays asked [Applause] from the 36 first down [Applause] Smith in the ball deflected and incomplete he wanted Metcalf Taylor Rapp was there and Gino tapped his chest on some of these shallow crossers you got to be alert for those lurking Zone Defenders watch Taylor rap put the hit on him last time he took the bigger end of that hit there this time he delivered the blow Smith looking finds locket locket with Wagner chasing that's a tough cover for Bobby Wagner to try to chase down Lockett and he gets him at the 47 to pick up a 17. well it's just another shallow cross and you see when they pressure like that off the edge it forces Bobby Wagner to cover those Crossing routes over the middle by vacating a Defender Bobby Wagner's put in a tough spot and there goes his old teammate right by him yeah that's Walker oh nice smooth to the sideline and Walker knocked out by Quinton Lake in field goal rage at the 26 of Los Angeles well this is just single back power out of the backfield watch they're going to pull the guard like this he takes the end well done Parkinson gets the pancake block he's been all over it today blocking for Kenneth Walker and you see the speed once he turns it on and gets a little Breathing Room Walker again Walker down to the 25-yard Line run it all the way down you got it field goal wins it I'm running another couple times Seahawks win it with a score that one miss is why we're in overtime it's why week 18 has been extended in Seattle foreign [Applause] [Applause] those of you who've been watching Washington's defeat Dallas overtime in Seattle second and eighth Walker trying to get to the outside a little hesitation then lowers the shoulder into Troy Hill close to a Seattle first down Kenneth Walker almost had to walk off the stakes couldn't be higher for Seattle if they cannot win this game they have no chance to go on in the postseason a win here today eliminates Detroit but then Seattle needs a Detroit win if they tie they're out they got the first down they're giving it to him and it is a first down for Seattle they're handing it again anyway so Seattle needs to win to stay alive in a postseason hunt Walker again and Walker not much there maybe a yard before Michael Hoyt can pull him down Sean mcvay's team has battled his defense has been outstanding today they have continued to fight but Pete Carroll's Seattle Seahawks are in great position to win this game with any score and then they wait let's see if they try and Center it meaning Gino just kind of moved to his left or they hand it off and exchange it to Walker give him a chance to put it exactly where Myers wants to kick
