ldquoItrsquos frustratingrdquo Boller said

“It held up enough for me to get through the game.”The Rams were without starting quarterback Marc Bulger with a broken leg. Backup Kyle Boller was intercepted twice, including Wilson’s 65-yard return in the second.“He seems to find the end zone whenever he gets the ball in his hands,” Seattle coach Jim Mora said of Wilson. “He’s done it more than once.”The Seahawks were driving again late in first, but Louis Rankin’s fumble at the Rams 35 was recovered by Justin King.Following the turnover, Ruvell Martin finally made an impact for the Rams picking up 27 yards down to the Seattle 21 late in the first. After an 11-yard pass to Danny Amendola, Boller lofted the ball to Donnie Avery in the corner to knot things up at 7-7 with 13:34 remaining in the second.Boller was able to make some plays with his legs but was still hit 13 times.

The former first-round draft pick saw Kearney coming on a blitz but put a perfect touch on the ball out to a wide-open Martin for a 33-yard gain just before the two-minute warning. Martin had two catches in the game for 60 yards.The Wilson interception quickly followed the big gain.Boller finished 28-of-45 for 282 yards and a touchdown to Avery He also ran for 26 yards. His second interception came in the end zone, when Jordan Babineaux grabbed an underthrown pass intended for Amendola.The Seahawks did a good job of showing different coverages and blitzes to put pressure on Boller, who was sacked four times.“It’s frustrating,” Boller said. “It felt like we were in the game and just couldn’t get over the hump. We needed to score more points and have fewer turnovers.”Seattle quarterback Matt Hasselbeck didn’t have to do much, finishing 14-of-25 passing for 102 yards.

Seattle netted 170 yards on the ground to just 95 through the air.“I’m not at all upset about that,” Hasselbeck said. “We’ve been working hard to get the run game going, and it was definitely a point of emphasis this week. The fact that we had some breakout, explosive plays in the running game and were able to punch it in a couple times is a really good thing.”Rams linebacker James Laurinaitis sacked Hasselbeck on the game’s first play, leading to a 3-and-out, but it was the only St. The field goal attempt came after Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo passed on a 4th-and-1 from the Seattle 29.St. Louis later tried to convert a 4th-and-4, but Boller’s pass to Avery was deflected by Kelly Jennings and into Wilson’s hands.“Kelly Jennings made a heck of a play,” Wilson said. Spagnuolo didn’t second-guess his earlier decision.“I think I would do it again,” Spagnuolo said. Asiodu partially blocked the Seattle punt to give the Rams great field position at the Seattle 35.

A few plays later came the Babineaux interception.Runs of 10 and 19 yards, respectively, from Seattle quarterbacks Seneca Wallace and Hasselbeck helped drive the Seahawks deep inside St Louis territory again. That led to an Olindo Mare field goal of 29 yards to put Seattle up 17-10 with 3:37 remaining in the third.Mare, who played college ball at MacMurray College in Jacksonville before transferring to Syracuse, consistently gave the Rams a long field. He had four touchbacks, and Amendola returned the other two kickoffs to the 21 and 17. Mora said Mare’s impact was an “underrated aspect” of his team’s defensive showing.Forsett found the end zone early in the fourth to give Seattle a two-touchdown lead.After trying to draw the Rams offsides on a 4th-and-1, Seattle went for it on the first play of the final quarter. Forsett went right up the middle for 11 yards, and scored two plays later to put Seattle up 24-10.Nate Burleson’s 29-yard punt later in the quarter led to another Mare field goal to put Seattle up 27-10 with 9:24 remaining.Jackson’s touchdown followed a Boller run of 26 yards to the 1 with just 44 seconds left.A 1-9 team hosting a 3-7 club, coupled with Bulger’s injury and questions about Jackson’s availability, kept fans away from the Dome.
