You can call them excuses, rationalizations, a tough schedule, or simply the way the cookie crumbles. There are many cliches to choose from right now to categorize the horrific overtime loss by the Rams on the road. But this was not a normal loss. By every stretch of the imagination, this was a once-in-a-lifetime loss that fans will bring up decades from now.
The Rams are the first team in NFL history to be up by seven points in overtime and still lose the game. But it gets worse. This was a game filled with NFL firsts. The Seattle Seahawks converted on three two-point conversions, once by throwing a backward lateral pass off Jared Verse's helmet.
