Los Angeles Rams Insider Podcast: Cleaning Up on Victory Monday

2 minutes, 18 seconds Read

The Los Angeles Rams (4-4) continued their winning streak with a 26-20 road win in overtime against NFC West rival Seattle Seahawks (4-5) on Sunday afternoon at Lumen Field. There were several bright spots for this group that made their slim playoff hopes a reality.

In this episode of the Los Angeles Rams Insider podcast, Rams on SI beat writer Tom Cavanaugh breaks down some key storylines from Victory Monday:

The Rams had an incredible defensive performance, especially in the second half. He forced three interceptions from Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith, including a 103-yard pick-six from rookie safety Kamren Kinchens. It set a franchise record for the longest pick-six in Rams history.

They also sacked Smith seven times and earned eight tackles for loss, including the biggest of the day, a fourth and one in overtime.

After allowing 13 points in the final 51 seconds of the first half, the Rams defense didn't shy away and came back with a vengeance in the second half. They held the Seahawks to just seven points after halftime.

With their division games already in hand, the Rams are 2-1 in the NFC West and are currently tied for second place with the San Francisco 49ers.

After a brutal 1-4 start to the season, the Rams have fought their way back into the playoff conversation, and winning two of their last three division games puts them in prime position to win the West.

Here's an excerpt from Tom Cavanaugh's post-game recap:

What. A. Game. The Los Angeles Rams (4-4) earned their biggest win of the season with a thrilling 26-20 overtime victory against NFC West division rivals the Seattle Seahawks.

Ninth-year wide receiver Demarcus Robinson caught quarterback Matthew Stafford's game-winning touchdown pass to end the game and earn a 2-1 record in the division. Robinson finished the game with six catches for 94 yards and two touchdowns.

It was the second straight week Robinson recorded two touchdowns. He picked up the slack after sophomore Puka Nacua was disqualified for throwing a punch at a Seahawks defender.

The Rams didn't receive the ball first at the start of overtime. The Seahawks faced a fourth-and-1 situation deep in Rams territory and were unable to get to the gain line by turning the ball over. The Rams responded with a four-play, 83-yard touchdown drive to end the game.

Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith was under pressure all afternoon and was sacked seven times for a total of 46 yards. Rams rookie defensive tackle Braden Fiske led the team to the win with two sacks.
