Jared Verse: When defense started having trouble against Seahawks, we didn't know what to do
Our Summary
The Los Angeles Rams faced disappointment as their division rivals, the Seattle Seahawks, celebrated a Super Bowl victory. The Rams nearly secured the NFC title, losing to the Seahawks in a crucial matchup in Seattle. Edge rusher Jared Verse explained on "The Pivot" podcast that the Rams' young defense entered the NFC Championship game with confidence, believing they had addressed previous mistakes against Seattle. However, an early 51-yard pass completion to Seahawks' wide receiver Rashid Shaheed led to a defensive breakdown, according to Verse. He admitted that the Rams' defense struggled to recover mentally, contributing to their defeat. The Rams will have two opportunities this season to redeem themselves against the Seahawks and demonstrate growth from their past encounter.
