The Seattle Seahawks certainly didn’t get their 2015 campaign off to the start they’d hoped with their 34-31 overtime loss to the St. Louis Rams on Sunday. The game featured a little bit of everything: big plays on offense, defense and special teams, questionable calls from the coaches and the officials and last-minute heroics, at least in the case of the Rams. St. Louis eventually took advantage of a Kam Chancellor-less Seahawks defense and a poorly timed ill-executed special teams play in the extra period to secure the victory... Читать дальше...
