The Seattle Seahawks got dominated by the Baltimore Ravens a few weeks ago by more than 30 points, and even that didn’t hurt as much as Seattle’s one-point loss to the division-rival Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. Their implosion in the fourth quarter against LA somehow feels like the worst loss in the Pete Carroll era, or at least the most avoidable and self-inflicted one.
In the locker room after the game the mood was understandably subdued. Reporters did get to hear from Carroll, plus Geno Smith, Riq Woolen, Quandre Diggs and Jason Myers, though. Here’s what they had to say.

Geno Smith on his elbow injury
Geno Smith said his elbow is sore. Asked if he thinks he’ll be ready for TNF: “We’ll see how it goes.” He added context to Pete Carroll’s comment about how they screwed up the final few plays, saying he lost communication in his helmet and called the Charbonnet run on his own. pic.twitter.com/xajFphTOlk
