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."
