Authorities said almost 160 were treated for heat-related illnesses during the Los Angeles Rams’ first regular-season home game. Its only offensive touchdown came on the final drive of the opener against Miami.

-The absence of Germain Ifedi for the first two weeks of the season was one key reason for Seattle’s early offensive struggles.
Both underwent MRIs on Monday, but Carroll did not immediately have results, saying it would be later in the week before their status was determined. But the Rams have yet to get in the end zone, largely because star running back Todd Gurley has rushed for a combined 98 yards on 36 carries in two games. I think anytime you encounter some adversity, we knew what we needed to fix something – just like I told you guys last week. “We were able to get the ball out and give our offence back the ball to get in victory formation”.
The New England Patriots started 2003 with a 31-0 clubbing by the Bills, but won 28 of their next 31 regular season games and back to back championships. But it’s the combination of issues already surfacing that are causing concern.
Tyler Lockett was on the sidelines with a sprained knee for most of this offensive slog.
To expect another magical transformation might seem to be a Pollyannaish outlook, considering the Seahawks have been without a touchdown for 119 minutes and 29 seconds of the season’s first 120 minutes.
Temperatures soared into the 90s Sunday, contributing to at least 158 heat-related medical calls during the Los Angeles Rams-Seattle Seahawks game at the Memorial Coliseum.

This is the third time in Carroll’s six years as Seattle’s coach the league has slapped the team for too much hitting in the offseason. We really had plenty of opportunities to go ahead and get that win but we just didn’t come up with what we needed. “But they’ve got to do what they’ve got to do”, Carroll said. I would say that I’m really pleased with the consistency that we find on defense. Things were getting stronger in the first four (preseason) looks at it – and then there was some adjusting we had to do right there.
The penalties stem from review of video of the team’s June 6 OTA practice, when the league found players “engaged in excessive on-field physical contact, which is expressly prohibited in all offseason workouts under the NFL-NFLPA Collective Bargaining Agreement”.
The decision to impose discipline was made after the National Football League and NFLPA independently reviewed the Seahawks’ June 6, 2016 on-field practice video and agreed that the club had violated the “no-live-contact” rule, as set forth in Article 21, Section 2 (b)(iii), Section 5 (a) and Appendix G of the CBA.
Carroll confirmed that an incident involving two players – a receiver and a defensive back – who collided and bumped heads led to the investigation. “To beat a tough opponent like this, no matter where it’s at, no matter how they’re feeling, no matter how we’re feeling, we have to figure out a way to win”. J’Marcus Webb started his second consecutive game for Seattle’s first-round pick in May’s draft.
