It wasn’t a pretty game for the Seattle Seahawks, who fell to the Rams in Los Angeles by a score of 28-12 on Sunday night.
The offense looked disjointed, and poor blocking up front and an early injury to Rashaad Penny prevented Russell Wilson from getting anything going.
The defense looked horrible in the first half as well, but a really strong third quarter helped keep the team in the game until the fourth.
The defense was anchored by free safety Quandre Diggs, who recorded interceptions on back-to-back drives – including a pick-six.
Diggs took away an overthrow from Rams quarterback Jared Goff early in the third quarter and ran it back into the end zone. Kicker Jason Myers missed the extra point, but it brought the Seahawks within 12.
On the following drive, Diggs picked off Goff again on a very deep throw near the end zone. The ensuing drive resulted in a punt for the Seahawks, and they were unable to score again until late in the fourth quarter.
Diggs finished with five combined tackles along with the two picks, which gives him three total in his short time with the Seahawks.
It wasn’t a good game for most of the Seattle squad, but it has become quite clear just how impactful the midseason acquisition of Diggs will be for this team down the stretch.
