INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) 鈥� After his initial evaluation for what the Seahawks called a bruised triceps, Seattle quarterback Geno Smith tried to complete several soft tosses, shaking out his right arm after each throw, before dejectedly sitting down on a cooler.

It wasn鈥檛 the last frustrating moment for Smith and the Seahawks in a regret-filled 17-16 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.

Smith eventually returned to the game, but he鈥檚 not sure whether he鈥檒l be able to play when Seattle hosts NFC West rival San Francisco on Thanksgiving night. The 49ers beat Tampa Bay on Sunday to move one game ahead of the Seahawks (6-4).

鈥淗uman body, you got to see how it reacts,鈥� Smith said.

He was hurt on the second-to-last play of the third quarter when defensive lineman Aaron Donald and outside linebacker Ochaun Mathis hit his right elbow.

Smith said it came down to pain tolerance whether or not he would be able to come back in, though he admitted there was concern the injury could be more serious.

鈥淩eally just had to do my best to fight through the pain,鈥� Smith said. 鈥淛ust try my best to just fight through it and keep going.鈥�

Smith put his helmet back on and completed three of four passes for 36 yards on the final drive, finishing with 233 yards and a touchdown to DK Metcalf.

But Seattle could only get close enough for Jason Myers to try a 55-yard field goal that hit the turf well short, in part because of an ill-timed technical glitch on the previous play.

Smith lost communication with the sideline after completing a 21-yard pass to Metcalf. With time of the essence, Smith called a quick run up the middle by Zach Charbonnet that gained 2 yards.

鈥淚 thought we had a chance and (it) really didn鈥檛 work out how we thought it would,鈥� Smith said of the final sequence.

Smith said a malfunction with the in-helmet radio system can and does occur.

鈥淧robably more often than you guys know about, but it does happen and you just got to make a call,鈥� Smith said. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 a situation where if you weren鈥檛 in two-minute, you probably call a timeout or have more time get to the sideline and make a play. But clock鈥檚 running, you got to make a fast call, and that鈥檚 why I did.鈥�

There were other judgment calls that factored into the outcome, including an illegal-hands-to-the-face penalty against cornerback Riq Woolen on third-and-long that extended the Rams鈥� go-ahead drive. It was the last of the 12 penalties Seattle committed at a cost of 130 yards.

鈥淚t was some BS, but at the same time, I鈥檓 hard on myself so I feel like that鈥檚 on me,鈥� Woolen said. 鈥淚n those situations, we supposed to get off the field and the game鈥檚 supposed to be over right there.鈥�

The offense had its own moment of regret, ultimately settling for a 43-yard field goal after having second-and-goal from the 5 late in the second quarter. Charbonnet had a run blown up by Donald for a loss, and Smith was pressured into an intentional grounding penalty.

鈥淲hen you lose a game like this, there鈥檚 always things that you can go back on and say 鈥業 wish we would have made this decision鈥� or change something like that,鈥� receiver Tyler Lockett said. 鈥淏ut at the same time, like I said, we just can鈥檛 put ourselves in those situations.鈥�

Myers鈥� missed kick at the end was the final reminder of everything the Seahawks had squandered.

鈥淲e played really good all day long,鈥� coach Pete Carroll said. 鈥淚t was enough to get us a win. But on this day, with all that happened, that wasn鈥檛 quite enough.鈥�
