DeMarcus Robinson’s one-handed catch in OT gives Rams 26-20 win over Seahawks – NBC Los Angeles

DeMarcus Robinson had a 39-yard one-handed touchdown in overtime and the Los Angeles Rams stunned the Seattle Seahawks 26-20 on Sunday.

With the Rams needing only a field goal after moving the Seahawks to fourth down on the first possession of OT, Matthew Stafford came up with the win by throwing a deep ball to Robinson, who was well covered by cornerback Rick Wallen. With one free hand, Robinson grabbed the ball in the end zone and pinned it as it fell to the turf.

Stafford threw for 298 yards and two touchdowns for the Rams (4-4), who have won three straight after losing four of their previous five. Robinson finished with six catches for 94 yards and two scores.

Geno Smith threw for 363 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions for the Seahawks (4-5), who have lost four straight at home and five of six overall to fall into last place in the stacked NFC West. Jaxon Smith-Njigba had seven catches for a career-best 180 yards and two scores.

The Rams rallied from a 13-3 deficit to take a 20-13 lead on Camren Kinchens’ 103-yard interception return early in the fourth quarter.

The Seahawks tied it when Smith connected with Smith-Njigba for a 14-yard touchdown with 51 seconds left.

Stafford tried to put the Rams in position for a game-winning field goal, but the kick stopped short of midfield.
