LOS ANGELES -- Alec Ogletree and Case Keenum figure theyll always remember the passion and excitement of the Rams first home game back in Los Angeles.Sure, the details of the Rams 9-3 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday might fade with time.Thats probably fine for both teams, too.Highlights were scarce while both teams failed to reach the end zones of the Coliseum, which welcomed back the NFL after a 21-season absence. Instead, the Rams defense decided it with an effort that showed Los Angeles (1-1) can win this season even without much of an offense.Ogletree sealed it with 45 seconds to play, falling on a fumble by Christine Michael. The Rams new middle linebacker then took the ball to the far end of the Coliseum sideline, handing it to his family in the stands.It was an amazing feeling to be out there today, said Ogletree, the replacement for franchise tackling leader James Laurinaitis. It was a historical moment. Glad to be a part of it.A massive crowd of 91,046 officially welcomed the Rams back to Los Angeles, their home from 1946-94. The pregame festivities included a show by the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the lighting of the Coliseum torch by six Rams Hall of Famers.The Seahawks (1-1) turned out to be ideal guests for this party -- but not because they wanted to be.Hobbling quarterback Russell Wilson passed for 254 yards, but the Seahawks reached the red zone once all day. Seattles defense was stout, but still gave up five drives longer than 45 yards leading to Greg Zuerleins three field goals.To come out and ptdplay like that, not give us a real shot to get ahead, was tough, said Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, who returned to the stadium where he spent nearly a decade as USCs head coach. Tough day. I never thought wed go the first couple weeks having scored one touchdown. Im surprised at that.POINT DROUGHT: Both teams are having trouble on offense, but the Seahawks had their lowest-scoring performance since October 2011 while getting shut out for the final 44 minutes. Their problems seem clearly linked to a suspect offensive line with a slew of new starters, but nobody was proud of his effort afterward. We still had a chance there at the end, said Wilson, who hit Tyler Lockett with a 53-yard pass shortly before Michaels fumble. Thats all Im looking for is a chance to win the game.MAKING A CASE: After a disastrous season opener at San Francisco, Keenum improved in his second start of the season, going 18 of 30 for 239 yards without an interception. With No. 1 pick Jared Goff watching from the sideline as his backup, Keenum made only a handful of mistakes and did nothing to conflict with his previous reputation as a game manager who gives his team a chance to win. I think a lot of people will remember this day, Keenum said.RIVALRY RULES: The Rams havent made the playoffs since 2004, but theyve beaten title-contending Seattle in four of the NFC West rivals last five meetings, including three straight. Wilson is just 4-5 against the Rams, while Carroll has no idea why the Rams have his number. If I did, it wouldnt have happened, he said with a grimace. The next meeting isnt until Dec. 16 in Seattle.GURLEY GRIND: Todd Gurley managed just 51 yards for the Rams, averaging 2.7 yards per carry against another defense determined to stop him. The Rams showed play-action proficiency while moving the ball well, but coach Jeff Fisher still wants to get his star running back into the end zone soon. We just have to get him some more touches, Fisher said. He ran well when he had the ball. ... Hell be fine. Hell just be fresh at the end of the season.FOND FAREWELL?: Just when the Rams have established a bit of momentum with this big party in their hometown, theyre back on the road almost exclusively until November. Los Angeles plays away from the Coliseum for four of its next five games, including a home game against the New York Giants on a cricket ground in England. The Rams host Buffalo on Oct. 9 -- and then dont play at the Coliseum again until Nov. 6.---AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Nike Shoes Black Friday Online .

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Well, this isnt the way anyone wanted to see Tony Stewart end his career. The driver went into NASCARs playoffs with a roar and is on the verge of exiting with a whimper.Stewart is in the bottom four of the Chase standings and will be eliminated Sunday at Dover International Speedway if he doesnt pull off some sort of miracle before the field is trimmed from 16 to 12 drivers. Hes retiring at the end of this season, and all his fans wanted to see a solid run toward a fourth NASCAR title.Instead, he opened the playoffs with a 16th-place finish at Chicago and he was 23rd on Sunday at New Hampshire. Chris Buescher is the only driver below him in the standings, and Stewart might just need to win at Dover to advance to the second round.Kevin Harvick, who won at New Hampshire to earn an automatic berth into the second round, isnt counting out his teammate. With Harvick secure and Kurt Busch 11th in the standings, Stewart-Haas Racing can put an emphasis on Stewarts performance at Dover.He can go to any racetrack and perform. He can go to any racetrack and win, Harvick said. Hes Tony Stewart. I wouldnt bet against him. Well do everything we can to help him get to the point where he needs to be to try to move on.This is hardly the position anyone thought Stewart would be in a month ago, when his fiery side began to emerge as the Chase approached. He wrecked Brian Scott at Darlington, wrecked Ryan Newman at Richmond and seemed to be in no mood to play around over the final 10 races of his NASCAR career.But hes not performing on the track, not at the level to race for a championship, at least, and thats got to change Sunday or he will close his career watching the playoffs go on without him. Stewart has not finished higher than 16th in the last six races, and his average finish is 26.3 over that span.He has three career wins at Dover, the last during his 2013 march to the title. But his average finish of 14.1 wont get it done.Who else could be eliminated on Sunday? A list:CHRIS BUESCHERIf you filled out a Chase bracket, you almost certainly had Buescher eliminated in the first round. He barely made the Chase, needing to cling to 30th in the standings to be eligible, and his Front Row Motorsports team just isnt equipped to competee with the big dogs.dddddddddddd Buescher was 28th at Chicago, 30th at New Hampshire and is last in the 16-driver Chase field.If it rains on Sunday, and he uses strategy to stay out and inherit the lead before the race is canceled, then hes got a shot at avoiding elimination. That is, after all, how he won Pocono to get into the Chase.JAMIE MCMURRAYHe is 14th in the standings, and thats a bit of a surprise because the Chip Ganassi Racing cars had been strong headed into the Chase. McMurray was eliminated in the first round last year, and believed his team had learned enough to make it through this opening three-race stretch. But theres no room at all for error in the Chase, and a 19th-place finish at New Hampshire simply isnt good enough.Ganassi teammate Kyle Larson, who many thought would go deep into the playoffs, isnt secure, either. Hes 12th in the standings -- only five points ahead of the elimination spot.AUSTIN DILLONHe is tied with McMurray in the standings and trails Larson by five points for the transfer spot. Not because hes been bad in the Chase, but because hes been mediocre through the first two races.Dillon was 14th in the opener, 16th at New Hampshire and doesnt have a top-10 finish in six weeks. His New Hampshire race was a struggle, but Dillon felt his Richard Childress Racing team persevered and has hope for Dover.I never gave in, never gave up, our team never gave up, he said. We go to Dover and weve given ourselves a shot. Weve just got to go run good there.EVERYONE BESIDES HARVICK AND MARTIN TRUEX JRA win gets a driver an automatic berth to the second round, and Harvick and Truex have each punched those tickets.But the standings are so close throughout the rest of the field that a mechanical problem, a crash or simply ailed strategy could end the Chase for any driver. Only six points separate fifth-place Joey Logano from 11th-place Kurt Busch and no one is feeling all that safe. Chase Elliott is ninth in points and finished third at Chicago, but hes hardly breathing easy.When asked what he expects from Dover, he was blunt: I feel like its an upcoming race and we need to do a better job.
