Los Angeles (AFP) - Marshawn Lynch got his chance, but the St. Louis Rams thwarted Seattle's superstar running back to open their 2015 NFL campaign with a 34-31 overtime upset on Sunday.

The Rams withstood an 18-point fourth-quarter rally by the two-time defending National Conference champions, with Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein booting a 37-yard field goal for the victory.

Just a day earlier, Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson tweeted that Seattle would be 1-0 after their season-opener.
