Russell Wilson is determined to dust himself down and go again following a disappointing showing in the Seattle Seahawks' 23-16 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.

The star quarterback failed to throw a touchdown, finishing 22 of 37 passing for 248 yards and two interceptions as the Rams (6-3) tied the Seahawks at the top of the NFC West.

Despite an uncharacteristically untidy display, Wilson spoke like a man with no regrets.

"I'm never going to shy away from leaving it all out there," he said.

"If you don't shoot, you'll never make it, you know what I mean?

"We can still get better; we can still find our way. We've got tough challenges ahead of us but nothing that we can't overcome and nothing that I won't overcome.

"I'm looking forward to keep going and just keep believing in it all."

The first of Wilson's interceptions saw him attempt to seek out tight end Will Dissly in the end zone, passing up on the chance to scramble for the first down in a move that backfired courtesy of Rams cornerback Darious Williams' intervention.

It came as a surprise to Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, who expects much better from the 31-year-old.

"Yes, it was a bad play," he said. "It was a decision that, you know, rarely have we seen Russ do.

"He's on the other side of the field moving that way and throwing the ball back across. He does miraculous things often and that wasn't one of them."
