The Seahawks are back in the ballgame Sunday night after defensive back Quandre Diggs picked off Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff and ran the interception back 55 yards for a touchdown – Seattle’s first of the night.
Before the score, the Seahawks had entered the half trailing the Rams 21-3. Despite Jason Myers missing the extra point attempt, Digg’s huge defensive play put Seattle right back in the action.
Equally as impressive, just a couple plays later, Diggs intercepted Goff again to give the Seahawks another much-needed takeaway. Diggs now has three picks on the year, after logging his first of the season – and first with Seattle – Week 10 against the 49ers.
The Seahawks acquired Diggs earlier this year in a trade with the Lions that has proved to be monumental for Seattle, who gave up very little in the deal.
As of this post, the Rams still lead the Seahawks 21-9 near the end of the third quarter.
