The greatest homecoming Am I right? Let’s talk about the Los Angeles Rams vs Seattle Seahawks.
Greg Zuerlein kicked three field goals – the longest a 47-yarder in the fourth quarter – and the Los Angeles Rams defeated the Seattle Seahawks 9-3 on Sunday that marked the return of pro football to the nation’s second-largest market for the first time in nearly 22 years.
Plenty of penalties slowed down the game for the announced crowd of 91,046 on a searing day at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, where the Rams marked the long-awaited occasion by wearing blue-and-gold throwback uniforms for their regular-season home debut.
The Rams (1-1) are still without a touchdown after losing 28-0 at San Francisco in their season opener. With field goals accounting for all the offense, it was hardly the high-scoring show Los Angeles sports fans are known to crave.
At times, the dull roar of chatter was the loudest sound from the crowd until the fourth quarter when they were on their feet cheering the Rams’ defense.
Alec Ogletree recovered a fumble by Seattle’s Mark Barron at the Los Angeles 29 with 57 seconds left in the game, ending the Seahawks’ last scoring bid.
This makes it three straight wins for the Rams over the Seahawks. WHO’S HOUSE RAMS HOUSE!
