SEATTLE —  Sluggishly streaking in Seattle. That’s what the Rams did Sunday. They won their third game in a row, and accomplished it with a less-than-inspiring but wholly effective 26-20 overtime victory over the Seahawks before 68,632 at Lumen Field. Matthew Stafford’s touchdown pass to receiver Demarcus Robinson ended a game that was devoid of sustained beauty but improved the Rams’ record to 4-4. Consider: Rams star receiver Puka Nacua was ejected for punching a Seahawks player after an interception.

(Lindsey Wasson / Associated Press) Officials called 20 penalties, eight against the Rams. The Rams gave up two touchdown passes in the final minute of the first half, right tackle Rob Havenstein left the game because of an injury, the Seahawks blocked a punt and the Rams converted only three of 13 third downs. And they still won. “What a unique, weird game that was,” coach Sean McVay said. That could just as well describe the first half of the

A woman who was allegedly kidnapped by her ex-boyfriend in El Monte was released after a 21-mile freeway pursuit through Los Angeles and Orange counties that at one point slowed to a crawl. According to the El Monte Police Department, the man showed up at the woman’s place of work in the 10300 block of Lower Azusa Road just before 6 p.m. Saturday. The two argued before the man allegedly forced the woman into her car, police said, and drove off without allowing her to exit. The woman called a friend, who tracked the car via the Find My iPhone app and contacted law enforcement. A Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department helicopter located the car on the 5 Freeway in the area of Commerce and notified California Highway Patrol.

Red Flag warnings have been issued in Southern California on Sunday evening ahead of strong Santa Ana winds and low humidity, setting the stage for dangerous fire conditions. The National Weather Service (NWS) said the warnings will go into effect at 7 p.m. on Sunday until 6 p.m. on Monday across portions of Los Angeles and Ventura counties. “A Red Flag Warning means that critical fire weather conditions are either occurring now, or will shortly,” wrote NWS in a Sunday afternoon update. “Use extreme caution with anything that can spark a wildfire.” Residents can expect wind gusts as high as 60 mph in the northern areas of the San Fernando Valley.

November 3, 2024 / 9:53 PM EST / AP How the election could affect Israel How the election could affect Israel 02:09 The Israeli military said Sunday it has carried out a ground raid into Syria, seizing a Syrian citizen involved in Iranian networks. It was the first time in the current war that Israel announced its troops operated in Syrian territory. Israel has carried out airstrikes in Syria multiple times over the past year , targeting members of Lebanon’s Hezbollah and officials from Iran, the close ally of both Hezbollah and Syria. But it has not previously made public any ground forays into Syria. The Israeli military said the seizure was part of a special operation “that took place in recent months,” though it did not say exactly when it occurred. Syria did not immediately confirm the announcement, but a pro-government Syrian radio station, Sham FM, reported Sunday that Israeli forces carried out a “kidnapping operation” over the summer targeting a man in the south of the country. Israel has waged an escalating campaign of bombardment in Lebanon for the past six weeks, as

TORONTO —  The play was set in motion more than an hour before tip off Friday night in Canada, Lakers guards D’Angelo Russell and Max Christie strategizing on one side of the team’s locker room as they got ready for the Raptors. Through the first two weeks of the season, Christie had struggled. “I’m just playing robotically,” he told people. In his third season, now with a real role as the first player consistently off the bench, a lot of the momentum he had built over the summer and preseason was slipping away under a pile of missed shots and defensive uncertainty. Russell saw a window to do a little something about it. The two players talked about how when Christie checked in later that night, Russell would try to break down a defender off the dribble, allowing for Christie to quickly cut backdoor for a layup. It was prophetic. On the first possession after Christie checked in midway through the first quarter, Russell dribbled with his left toward Christie in the corner. And just like they spoke about, Christie cut hard toward the rim. Russell
