ST. LOUIS(AP) -- The Seattle Seahawks ended their road woes in an
environment that was far from intimidating, a stadium
half-filled at best.

Justin Forsett set career highs with 130 yards and two
touchdowns and the go-ahead score came on the Seahawks' third
defensive touchdown of the season in a 27-17 victory over the
St. Louis Rams on Sunday.

Never mind that the Rams have lost 10 in a row at home and have
one victory this season, it was an upbeat Seattle locker room.

"No matter what their record is, you've got to celebrate, be
happy and keep it going," said cornerback Josh Wilson, who had a
65-yard interception return for a touchdown near the end of the
first half. "If it wasn't for the 'W' I wouldn't be doing this
interview with a smile on my face."

Seattle (4-7) had been 0-5 on the road but ended the drought
against the Rams (1-10), who have lost 11 in a row at home and
10 in a row to the Seahawks.

"Yeah, that was a step backward," Rams defensive end Leonard
Little said. "I think we've got a long way to go, so we can't
afford to take any steps backward."

Olindo Mare added field goals of 29 and 38 yards, tying the
franchise record of 16 in a row shared by Rams kicker Josh
Brown. The Seahawks had been outscored 161-73 during an 0-5 road
start, and kept the Rams down by intercepting Kyle Boller twice
and sacking him four times.

The announced attendance of 47,475 was their worst in 15 seasons
in St. Louis.

Steven Jackson was the lone bright spot for the Rams with 89
yards rushing on 23 carries and a late score after missing three
days of practice due to back spasms. He fell short of a fifth
straight 100-yard game while running behind a makeshift
offensive line much of the way, with two starters inactive and
center Jason Brown (right knee) sidelined near the end of the
half.

"It wasn't 100 percent but I think we all know that," Jackson
said. "It was enough to get me through the game."

Seahawks linebacker Aaron Curry said it was fun going against
the 235-pound Jackson for the second time this season. Seattle
won 28-0 in the opener.

"The first time I played him he verbally assaulted me," Curry
said. "But he's a good dude. I think it's like who's going to
lose their cool first, and it isn't going to be me."

Matt Hasselbeck has been the quarterback for the Seahawks' past
eight victories over St. Louis and this time beat them despite
one of his worst statistical days of the season, going 14 for 25
for 102 yards.

No worries after the Seahawks rushed for 170 yards, one week
after mustering only 4 yards in a 35-9 loss at Minnesota.
Forsett averaged 5.9 yards on 22 carries, scored for the third
straight week and topped his previous best of 123 yards set two
weeks ago at Arizona while filling in for the injured Julius
Jones.

Mora said Jones didn't feel right even before pre-game warmups,
and missed his second straight start with a lung contusion.
Jones leads the Seahawks with 392 yards but is only 7 yards
ahead of Forsett.

"We've been working very hard getting the run game going and it
was definitely a point of emphasis," Hasselbeck said. "The fact
we had some breakout runs, some explosive gains in the run game,
it's really a good thing."

The Rams' run defense struggled for the third straight week.
Opponents have totaled 556 yards and a 6.2-yard average.

Seattle ran only six plays in the second quarter while the Rams
got a 1-yard touchdown pass from Boller to Donnie Avery plus a
season-best 55-yard field goal by Brown to end the half. Still,
the quarter was a success because of Wilson's return of a
fourth-down pass that was tipped by Kelly Jennings for a 14-7
lead with 1:38 to go.

"As soon as I caught it I was thinking 'I'm getting in the end
zone no matter what it takes,"' Wilson said. "I knew it was
going to be a big play in the game."

Wilson has two of Seattle's defensive scores this season, also
scoring on a 61-yard interception return against the Lions on
Nov. 8.
