INGLEWOOD—As bleak as things looked for the Seahawks after Sam Darnold's fourth interception of the game, they were able to keep fighting and nearly stage a dramatic comeback.

Thanks to a defense that kept getting big stops, and fourth-quarter touchdown drive by Darnold and company, the Seahawks were able to make it one-score game. After another defensive stop, the Seahawks got the ball back, albeit at their own 1-yard line, needing a field for the win. They were able to get as far as the Rams 43 before running out of time, forcing Jason Myers to attempt a 61-yard game winner, which missed.

Here are five rapid reactions to the Seahawks' 21-19 loss to the Rams, which dropped Seattle's record to 7-3:

1. The Seahawks couldn't overcome their turnovers this time.

Turnovers have been an issue for the Seahawks at times this season, but thanks to otherwise great play from the offense, as well as a standout defense, they've frequently gotten away with it, including last week when they had three turnovers after building a big lead against Arizona, and in a Week 7 win over Houston in which they committed four turnovers.

The Seahawks were not, however, able to survive multiple turnovers against a team as good as the Rams.

Quarterback Sam Darnold, who has been outstanding in his first season with the Seahawks, unfortunately had his worst game of the year, throwing four interceptions, two of which led to Rams touchdowns.

Seattle's defense was good enough to keep the Seahawks in the game despite all of those turnovers, and the offense did respond with a touchdown in the fourth quarter to make it a one-score game, but ultimately those interceptions were just too much to overcome.

2. The Seahawks battle to keep the Seahawks in it.

For as bad as things were going at times for the offense, the Seahawks were still able to keep it a competitive game thanks to a gutsy effort from the defense, that stepped up repeatedly, often after being put in tough spots.

Yes, the Rams scored 21 points, but 14 of those were the result of short fields after interceptions, and Rams finished with 249 yards and a season-low 12 first downs, going 2 for 11 on third down.

After the Rams built an early 14-3 lead, the Seahawks responded by forcing three punts and a turnover—a Coby Bryant forced fumble that was recovered by Drake Thomas moments after a Darnold interception—before the Rams scored again on a short drive after an interception. Seattle's defense followed that with two more quick stops to force punts, then after the offense produced a touchdown to make it a one-score game, the defense got one more stop to give the offense a chance. Unfortunately for the Seahawks, the Rams punt went out of bounds at the 1, giving the Seahawks a long field, and they were eventually forced to attempt a 61-yard field goal, which missed.

3. Kenneth Walker III made big plays on the ground and through the air.

The Seahawks have split playing time and touches between Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet throughout the season, making it tough for either player to put up big numbers, and while that was the case again on Sunday, Walker was able to come through with one of his better games of the year.

Walker rushed for 67 yards on 16 carries to lead the Seahawks, scoring his team's only touchdown, and he also had his best receiving game of the season, catching three passes for 44 yards.

4. Jaxon Smith-Njiba made a little more history.

As has seemingly been the case every week, receiver Jaxon Smith-Njiba made a little more history with another strong outing. With nine catches for 105 yards, the third-year receiver not only added to his league-leading total, he also became the first player in the Super Bowl era to have at least 75 receiving yards in each of his first 10 games of a season.

It was also his seventh 100-yard game this season, breaking a tie with Steve Largent for the most in a season in team history.

Smith-Njigba's big day included a spectacular one-handed catch for a 28-yard gain that helped set up a first-half field goal.

5. Jason Myers couldn't make a very tough kick, but he did break another franchise record.

Myers broke a franchise record last week when he passed Stephen Hauschka for the most field goals made in franchise history, and on Sunday, he not only added to that record with four more field goals and an extra point, he also broke another team record, moving past Norm Johnson for the most points score in team history.

With those four field goals and an extra point, Myers is up to 817 points in his seven seasons in Seattle, ahead of Evans, who had 810 points as a Seahawk.
