The Seattle Seahawks lost to the Los Angeles Rams 36-31 on Sunday.

Though the Seahawks kept it close throughout Youth Shaquem Griffin Jersey , taking leads of 7-0, 14-7, and 21-20 before the fourth quarter, it’s fair to criticize the job done by Seattle’s defense, including that of defensive coordinator Ken Norton, which allowed long gains and key conversions that ultimately allowed the Rams to keep the drives going that would put away the Seahawks, it’s also fine to acknowledge the positive side:The Seahawks were big time underdogs, playing on the road, against the NFC’s best or second-best offense Seahawks Frank Clark Jersey , and without Earl Thomas or Bradley McDougald (for most of the game). There are many teams that would have done much worse, but Seattle did a more than admirable job against the mighty Rams.If you want to hear my final thoughts on the game, listen to the Instant Reaction podcast recorded in the last six minutes of the game and into the post-game.

Indianapolis is nursing a 9-7 lead at halftime, and the first-team players on offense and defense are pretty much done for the night.Russell Wilson only had one series, and it was a good one, as he went 12 plays, 75 yards Seahawks Tre Flowers Jersey , and capped it off with a scramble drill touchdown to TE Nick Vannett. Rookie running back Rashaad Penny contributed on that scoring play by blocking the oncoming pass rusher. Chris Carson has also looked great in his return from injury, with 26 yards on 4 carries.On defense, it’s been a little bit up-and-down. They’ve prevented big plays but have had some issues in run support and covering running backs in the passing game, but there have been bright spots. Shaquem Griffin made four tackles in his first NFL defensive series, Shaquill recorded a pass defensed on Andrew Luck on the game’s opening drive, Justin Coleman nearly had an interception, and Barkevious Mingo and Rasheem Green each recorded sacks.Courtesy of Samuel Gold, check out the 1st half highlights of the Seahawks’ first exhibition game of the new season.
