Seahawks' defense snuffs out St. Louis Oct 29th 2013, 04:25 Share this Email Print Reprints Tue Oct 29, 2013 12:25am EDT (Reuters) - The Seattle Seahawks made a last-second defensive stand at the goal line to produce a 14-9 victory against the St. Louis Rams on Monday in a tough road test for the NFC leaders. St. Louis had driven the length of the field on the game's final possession and had two chances to score from Seattle's one-yard line but the Seahawks' defense stopped a running play and then forced an incompletion as time expired. It was the third successive victory for Seattle (7-1), who regained a half-game edge over New Orleans (6-1) atop the NFC despite being outplayed by the Rams. St. Louis (3-5) held the ball for more than 38 of the game's 60 minutes and had 339 net offensive yards to the Seahawks' 135 but could not finish them off. Russell Wilson tossed a touchdown pass in the second quarter for Seattle's 7-3 lead and put the visitors ahead 14-6 on an 80-yard strike to Golden Tate in the third. The Rams kept moving the ball, but could only manage three field goals from Greg Zuerlein, the last came with 12:51 remaining in the game. Quarterback Kellen Clemens, playing in place of Sam Bradford who tore his ACL last week, completed only 15 of 31 passes and had two interceptions. The St. Louis offense was led by rookie Zac Stacy who ran for 134 of the team's 200 rushing yards.
