Seahawks Lose Russell and Game

The Seattle Seahawks lost Thursday night to
the Los Angeles Rams 26-17 to give them a
record of 2-3. It was important game to win
though they do still have a chance though
Arizona Cardinals are undefeated going into
Sunday.

Russell Wilson injured one of his right hand
fingers on Thursday night where Geno Smith
had to come in to finish the game. Friday 
Russell Wilson had surgery on his finger and
will miss four to six weeks of action. Knowing
Wilson though he could be back sooner depend
on how Geno Smith does in his place.

Russell Wilson has started 149 straight games
as the Seahawks quarterback ever since he was
a rookie. It will certainly be strange not to see
him in the Seahawks next game against the 
Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday October 17.

Geno's stats were about the same as Russell's
in the game. Geno threw one more pass than
Russell though Wilson had 152 yards to Geno's
131 yards. Both threw for a touchdown and an
interception. Geno's interception was crucial 
as it was late in the game and helped the Rams
win. The Rams kicked a field goal with less 
than two minutes to go making it two times
the Seahawks would have had to score to win.

It really wasn't Geno's fault on the interception
right after throwing the ball Tyler Lockett who
was the intended receiver tripped over his own
feet. How things would have gone who really
knows but the Seahawks were down by only
six points at the time.

The Seahawks defense still has work to do.
Matthew Stafford threw for 365 yards and had
118 on the ground. The Seahawks defensive
line is still having trouble rushing the qb well
as the defensive backs covering receivers.
Pete Carroll plans to make chances going into
October 17 game against Pittsburgh. Go Hawks!
