SEATTLE – Linebacker Ernest Jones delivered a message to the Seahawks defense in the huddle as they clung to four-point lead on fourth-and-4 late in the fourth quarter. The Los Angeles Rams had driven 84 yards down the field and were six yards away from a go-ahead score.
“Everything we worked for in this moment,” Jones revealed what he said in the huddle to USA TODAY Sports. “I’ll be damned if you don’t give it your all right here.”
On the defense’s most consequential play, Matthew Stafford looked around to find an open pass catcher. He fired a pass to Terrance Ferguson as cornerback Devon Witherspoon blanketed the tight end to break up the play.
Turnover on downs.
The Seahawks took over possession of the football and were able to drain the clock before a final Rams' desperation drive ran out of time.
