Steve Spagnuolo isn’t normally a numbers guy, but sometimes stats are unavoidable. Such was the case with Sunday’s 27-17 loss to Seattle.
“If you said our defense was going to hold Seattle to 265 total yards, a quarterback rating of 65, and 95 yards passing, I would’ve said that was going to be pretty good,” Spagnuolo said.
When it come to pass defense, and total defense, those certainly are numbers you can live with.
But instead of earning a rare victory, the Rams got yet another loss — and a double-digit one at that — against a Seahawks squad that has won only two of nine games this season against teams not named St. Louis.
“Always a tough one to swallow when you feel like it’s two even opponents playing a tough football game … and then you kind of let it get away,” Spagnuolo said. “I think it came down to turnovers and run defense.”
On an offense that is averaging only 11.8 points a game, there is little margin for error. Legitimate chances to score haven’t come around that often for the Rams, so turnovers (and missed field goals, for that matter) can be very deflating.
