Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks’ offense have struggled since the star quarterback suffered a serious finger injury earlier this season. That trend continued on Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Rams.
The Seahawks lost 20-10 to the Rams and managed only 214 yards in the game. They had a major missed opportunity in the fourth quarter.
The Seahawks were down 17-10 with under eight minutes to play. They had a third-and-14 and DK Metcalf beat Jalen Ramsey down the left sideline and was open. But Wilson badly underthrew him, allowing Ramsey the chance to break up the pass.
The Seahawks ended up punting on the next play after that bad miss.
Metcalf was understandably ticked off after Wilson missed him on the play.
Seattle struggled to score points and had a great opportunity to cash in on that play, but Wilson couldn’t get it done. It’s no surprise that after the game, Wilson said he wished he had that play back.
That’s a play he needs to make. It’s a pass that Wilson doesn’t miss when he’s not playing with a wrecked finger on his passing hand.
