The Seattle Seahawks managed to sneak a win against the Los Angeles Rams in one of the best games of the season.
How do we know that it's one of the best games of football played this season? K.J. Wright said it so himself.
Wright, who has been with the team as the first-choice linebacker since 2011, told Gregg Bell and the rest of the press in the locker rooms post-game that it was one of the best football games he's ever played in a Seahawks jersey.
K.J. Wright, longest-tenured #Seahawks player: “This one is up there with the NFC title game (win here vs 49ers on Sherman tip). One of the best games I’ve ever been a part of.” Said he was in tears when Rams FG went wide at end. 30-year-old husband, father in tears over that one pic.twitter.com/NnAc7mwp0R

It's a big deal when the longest-serving Seahawk compared this game to their NFC title game against the 49ers.
He detailed why the win was an important one for Seattle and their hopes of playoff football.

The Rams were tough competition as Jared Goff and the offense kept up with them for much of the game. However, Russell Wilson bailed them with perfect passing from the pocket. He was a terrific option for the team.
Moreover, it's not only Wilson's fantastic play that helped the Seahawks win. Tedric Thompson was a rock on defense with his play. Chris Carson almost lost the Seahawks' go-ahead TD. The missed FG attempt made another set of eyes cry in Shaquill Griffin.
It was a fantastic game where the Seahawks gave everything they had and were rewarded with a narrow win. They can now look forward to another tough game in Cleveland with their heads held high.
