Rams 23 Seahawks 16: Winners and Losers from pitiful defeat
Photo by Harry How/Getty ImagesThis game was bad. This day was bad. The Seattle Seahawks season went from starting as brightly as possible to looking like they may not even finish as the NFC West runner-up. Their saving grace is a favorable four-game stretch against the NFC East + New York Jets, plus the realization that we could see a 16-team NFL playoff if the COVID-19 pandemic creates more havoc with the schedule. It’s a damn good thing the playoff expansion went into effect this year or else I think it would be very possible the Seahawks would miss out in the 12-team format.
There aren’t a lot of earnest winners but this is still the Winners and Losers column.
