The Los Angeles Rams survived injuries to quarterback John Wolford and defensive tackle Aaron Donald to pull off an upset over the Seattle Seahawks in Saturday’s wild-card matchup.
L.A.’s 30-20 victory snapped Seattle’s 10-win home playoff streak, the third-longest in the league. The Rams will advance to the divisional round.
Despite All-Pro Donald missing most of the second half due to a rib injury, the Rams’ stingy defense came up big, holding Seattle to 278 total yards and scoring on a 42-yard interception.
Wolford got the starting nod with Jared Goff recuperating from surgery on his fractured thumb, an injury suffered less than two weeks ago. However, Wolford’s outing ended prematurely after sustaining a neck injury early in the first quarter. He was later transported to the hospital as a precaution. Goff came into the game in relief, completing 9 of 19 passes, 155 yards and a touchdown.
