Seahawks with little time to get healthy, correct issues after loss to Rams

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:00:42 GMT

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — The starting quarterback got crunched. The starting running back didn’t make it through a quarter. The defense couldn’t get a stop in the fourth quarter and a dozen penalties only added to an overall miserable day for the Seattle Seahawks. As if the 17-16 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday wasn’t painful enough for the Seahawks, they have only three days to get healthy and make corrections before facing another divisional matchup on Thanksgiving night.And this one is without question more important, hosting San Francisco with first place in the NFC West at stake.“It’s just really a difficult team to deal with. But teams have figured it out. They have found them out and they were able to get them,” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. “So we understand that. They’ve got three losses. We got four losses. This is a huge opportunity for us.”The Seahawks (6-4) believe quarterback Geno Smith will be able to play against the 49ers despite a contusion to the triceps on ...

The other difference, I thought, was their inability to make 3s in the second half,” Boilermakers coach Matt Painter said.Edey, a 7-foot-4 senior center, shot 8 for 16 from the field and made 9 of 10 shots from the free throw line.
