If you had the Rams on Thursday Night Football, we need you to know that we see you. We feel you. And we're pouring one out for your bankroll.

Los Angeles blew a 16-point fourth quarter lead against Seattle, gave up 8 points in overtime AFTER scoring a touchdown themselves, and somehow lost this game.

Matthew Stafford threw for 457 yards with 3 touchdowns and no interceptions. Without Davante Adams. And they still lost.

Pain.

The Quick Hit

• Final score: Seahawks 38, Rams 37 (OT)
• The collapse: Rams led by 16 in the fourth quarter
• Stafford's line: 457 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs
• The damage: Rams bettors got absolutely jobbed

How Does This Even Happen?

Let's set the scene: The Rams are up 30-14 in the fourth quarter. Stafford is cooking. The defense has been solid enough. Seattle looks dead in the water.

Then the Seahawks scored. And scored again. And again.

By the time regulation ended, this game was somehow tied. Seattle had completed one of the most improbable comebacks of the NFL season.

Overtime Made It Worse

Here's where it gets truly brutal. The Rams got the ball in overtime and SCORED A TOUCHDOWN. Puka Nacua hauled in a pass, the Rams took the lead, and every LA bettor started counting their money.

But this is the new overtime rules. Seattle got the ball back, and they answered. Eight points. Game over.

The Rams did everything right — moved the ball, scored — and still lost. That's not a bad beat. That's a war crime.

Stafford Deserved Better

Let's be real: Matthew Stafford played one of the best games of his season. 457 passing yards. Three touchdowns. Zero turnovers. And he did it without one of his best receivers.

In a normal universe, that performance wins you the game by 20 points. In this universe, it gets you a loss and a seat on the therapy couch.

What This Means for the NFC West

Despite the collapse, the Rams are somehow still alive in the playoff hunt. But this loss gives Seattle the tiebreaker and first place in the NFC West.

If you're a Rams fan, you're probably still in denial. If you're a Rams bettor, you're probably looking for a new hobby.

The Bottom Line

The Los Angeles Rams held a 16-point fourth quarter lead, had a Hall of Fame quarterback playing out of his mind, scored a go-ahead touchdown in overtime, and still found a way to lose.

This is why we drink, degenerates.

And if you had the Rams Thursday night, just know that you didn't do anything wrong. Sometimes the universe just decides to personally victimize your bet slip.

Better luck next week.
