RENTON — There’s usually more than meets the initial eye when it comes to any play in an NFL football game.
So was the case with what on the surface appeared to be one of the more curious play calls of Seattle’s 30-29 win over the Rams last Thursday — the Seahawks’ final third-and-two play from the Rams 43-yard-line with 1:57 remaining, which turned into a pitch from Russell Wilson to Tyler Lockett for a loss of eight, a Seattle punt, and a last-ditch offensive series by Los Angeles that almost turned a Seattle win into a loss.
