Overview
- Sam Darnold threw four interceptions with no touchdowns in a 21-19 defeat at SoFi Stadium, and 14 of the Rams’ 21 points came on short fields after picks.
- He led a late drive from Seattle’s 1-yard line to set up a 61-yard game-winning attempt, but Jason Myers missed after hitting four earlier field goals.
- Linebacker Ernest Jones IV issued a profane public defense of Darnold, and coach Mike Macdonald told his quarterback, “Keep ripping it… we’ve got your back.”
- Darnold accepted responsibility, calling the giveaways self-inflicted, as his interception streak reached four straight games following a strong start to the season.
- The result dropped Seattle to 7-3 and lifted Los Angeles to 8-2 with the tiebreaker in the NFC West, with the Seahawks visiting the 1-win Titans next and hosting the Rams in December.
