ST. LOUIS -- With new faces in the secondary, the Seattle Seahawks let a potential comeback slip out of their hands in a 34-31 loss to the St. Louis Rams.

The final play in overtime was an inside handoff to Marshawn Lynch, who was stuffed behind the line of scrimmage on fourth-and-2.

But late in the fourth quarter, it was the defense that fell apart. Dion Bailey, playing in place of Kam Chancellor, was beaten by tight end Lance Kendricks on a 37-yard touchdown with 59 seconds left in regulation. Kendricks ran a go route on the outside, and Bailey slipped, leaving him wide-open for the game-tying score.

The defense gave up eight plays of 20 yards or more on the day. Foles went 18-for-27 for 297 yards and a touchdown. The Rams were without their top two running backs in Todd Gurley and Tre Mason. They were also missing starting wide receiver Brian Quick. But Foles averaged 11.0 yards per attempt and moved the ball up and down the field.

In overtime, the Seahawks attempted an onside kick, but the Rams recovered, giving them the ball at the Seattle 49. Greg Zuerlein ended up kicking a 37-yard field goal on the ensuing drive.

The Seahawks had staged a furious comeback after trailing 24-13 late in the fourth quarter. With 4:39 left in the game, Cary Williams came on a corner blitz, stripped quarterback Nick Foles, scooped up the fumble and took it to the end zone to give the Seahawks a 31-24 lead. But Foles put together a 12-play, 84-yard drive to tie the game.

The Seahawks now will go to Lambeau Field looking for their first win of the season.
