Misery Index · Despair
Rams fans mourning a wasted Stafford masterpiece while sharpening pitchforks for Shula and special teams.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
X.Smith's muffed punt at the LA 18 handed Seattle a short field nobody could afford, and S.Darnold spent the rest of the night carving up the secondary — J.Smith-Njigba alone went for a 42-yard catch and a touchdown that the defense never really answered. M.Stafford did his part again, scrambling and finding C.Parkinson late, which is somehow the worst part: another wasted year of him while the special teams and coverage units torch winnable games.
