Geno Smith says Rams 'wanted it more' after opening loss
SEATTLE -- Geno Smith and DK Metcalf were trying to explain an inexplicable loss when they both hit on the same theme in their postgame press conferences.
“I’m surprised, yes I am,” Smith said after the Seahawks fell 30-17 to the visiting Los Angeles Rams in Sunday’s season opener. “I didn’t expect to come out and lose at all, let alone in this fashion. But hats off to the Rams. They wanted it more. They played harder and they executed better.”
Said Metcalf: “I just felt like the Rams just played harder than us. Their defense played harder than our offense and they reaped the benefits of it.”
