SEATTLE – Los Angeles Rams cornerback Darious Williams will own Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson this season.

Wilson tried to give a screen pass to DK Metcalf, but Williams read it all the way as he jumped the route and let the interception back 42 yards for a touchdown to give the Rams a 13-3 lead. The pick is Williams third against Wilson this season and is the Rams’ fifth defensive score since week 11, led by the NFL. Williams knocked out Wilson twice in the Rams’ 23-16 win over Seattle in week 10.

Overall, this regular season, there were 784 screen passes targeting WRs and zero interceptions ahead of Williams’ pick-six of Wilson’s screen pass targeting Metcalf.

However, Metcalf and Wilson quickly responded to the Seahawks’ next ride.

Wilson scrambled to the left and floated a pass back over his body to Metcalf, who opened up behind the Rams’ defense and rushed to the end zone for a 51-yard touchdown. That made it 13-10 Rams with 3:43 over in the first half.

According to ESPN Stats & Information, Wilson threw an NFL-high 18 touchdown passes under duress during the regular season. The next closest players had 11 such touchdowns.

The Seahawks’ first five offensive possessions resulted in three kicks, a field goal, and the sixth.
