The secondary of the Seattle Seahawks played its first game without Jamal Adams in Week 14 against the Houston Texans, tuning up for the showdown with Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams in Week 15. For the Seahawks to have any realistic shot at the postseason, they must win out, and that will include the secondary needing to slow down Stafford and a Rams offense that recorded 476 yards against Seattle in the first matchup, including 358 yards through the air.
In addition, while the cornerback play has improved for the Hawks as the season has gone on, in the first matchup Seattle had Adams available, so his absence could make a difference when the two teams battle Sunday afternoon.
