Rams’ pass rush smothers Russell Wilson in dominant defensive performance
When the Rams and Seahawks met in Week 5, it felt like Wilson should have been sacked far more than he actually was. The Rams got their hands on him plenty of times and failed to bring him down. That wasn’t the case this time around.
The Rams took down the elusive passer five times in another great showing by the defense. Seattle was forced out of their comfort zone after being forced into becoming a passing offense thanks to a few early scores by the Rams. They failed at winning the game through the air.
Samson Ebukam, Dante Fowler, and Aaron Donald combined for the five sacks tonight. The secondary shined as well in the victory. Taylor Rapp stepped up early and made some big tackles, while Troy Hill broke up a few huge passes later on. It was another fantastic performance by the Rams defense. Don’t expect another Baltimore-type showing this season.
