What the national media are saying about the Seahawks’ 33-31 defeat to the Rams, and that controversial final timeout

Show of hands: Before Sunday’s game at CenturyLink Field, did anyone think the Seahawks would go toe-to-toe with the undefeated Los Angeles Rams until the final seconds?

Few expected the Seahawks to hold their own against the Rams, much less match them score-for-score through most of what was an entertaining shootout. Seattle ultimately lost 33-31, and that puts a dagger into any hopes they may have harbored of contending for the NFC West.

The game also left many debating whether Pete Carroll made the right decision in calling a time out before the Rams’ fourth-and-1 play.
