Kam Chancellor is still holding out, so the Seahawks took on the Rams without him. The Seahawks trailed, 24-13, but fought back to take a late seven-point lead ... but the Rams forced OT on this touchdown pass in the last minute before winning in overtime:
This game-tying Rams touchdown is all the leverage Kam Chancellor needs
This is what happens when you don’t give Kam Chancellor his money.

See that guy falling on his face while Lance Kendricks takes Nick Foles’ pass to the house more or less uncontested? That’s Dion Bailey, the dude playing strong safety for the Seahawks while Chancellor holds out.
Chancellor isn’t perfect, but I don’t remember him stumbling while critical touchdowns happened behind him a whole bunch. I do, however, remember him inflicting pain, bulldozing ball carriers, making receivers fear for their lives, reading quarterbacks’ minds, leaping lines, and generally disrupting everything an NFL offense can try to do by himself.
The Rams won in overtime, so, yeah, the Seahawks really might want to think about giving Kam his money.
