Ahkello Witherspoon's game-saving interception against the Cardinals gives the Rams the upper hand in the NFC West race, potentially ending Seattle's hopes for a division title.
The Seattle Seahawks almost got a massive lifeline thanks to the Arizona Cardinals. However, a former preseason Seahawks cornerback, Ahkello Witherspoon, made the biggest play of the Los Angeles Rams ’ season. Down 13-9 with under a minute to go, the Cardinals were at the Rams’ 5-yard line and poised to take a stunning lead after being down 10-0 at halftime.
Kyler Murray threw the ball off of Trey McBride’s helmet, the ball popped into the air, and Witherspoon made a phenomenal diving grab for an interception. It was a game-ending, possibly division-clinching interception. It was Murray’s second interception of the fourth quarter, and it seals a losing season for Arizona after a 6-4 start. The other interception was made by Kamren Kinchens, the same promising rookie who had a pick-six and two interceptions off of Geno Smith in the Rams’ 26-20 win over the Seahawks back in Week 9. In other words, a safety named Kam and a cornerback named Witherspoon had clutch plays that hurt Seattle. The Rams are 10-6 and still have a negative point differential on the season, yet their five-game winning streak has them on the cusp of the NFC West title. A loss would’ve meant a “winner take all” NFC West showdown between the Seahawks and Rams in Inglewood. Now it might be a meaningless game. As if that wasn’t enough, the Cincinnati Bengals also won a chaotic 30-24 overtime classic over the Denver Broncos, which hurt Seattle’s already weak strength of victory. That means if Seattle has a few more results go against them over the next two days, it’s over before Week 18
