The Seattle Seahawks have a lot to prove on Thursday Night Football in Week 16 against the Los Angeles Rams. This goes well beyond quarterback Sam Darnold simply proving that he can play great in the biggest games. The team overall needs to show it can beat the Rams in meaningful games.
Seattle did get a win against LA in Week 18 last season, but the outcome meant nothing. Seattle already knew it was going to miss the postseason, and the Rams already knew they had won the NFC West. Los Angeles also sat key players such as Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp during the game.
