Geno Smith hits Metcalf for late TD, Seahawks top Rams 27-23

Associated Press  

INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Whenever Geno Smith looked across the line in the final minutes at SoFi Stadium, he saw an inspired Bobby Wagner leading an entire Los Angeles Rams team desperately in need of a victory. DK Metcalf caught an 8-yard touchdown pass from Smith with 36 seconds to play, completing the Seahawks’ late rally for a 27-23 win over the spiraling Rams on Sunday. After Cam Akers’ second TD run put the Rams up 23-20 with 2:56 to play, Smith patiently directed the winning 75-yard drive, hitting Marquise Goodwin for 17 yards one play before finding Metcalf. “Geno found his receivers, and you’ve got to tip your hat to him.” John Wolford passed for 178 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions for the Rams, who are ensured their first losing season in coach Sean McVay’s six-year tenure. “You’re not going away with the moral victories, but I think we can all see the steps this group has taken.” Wolford made his fourth career start in place of Matthew Stafford, who missed his third game in four weeks for the Rams with injuries that have put him in the NFL’s concussion protocol twice.
