Sunday the Seattle Seahawks failed to stay atop of the NFC West, as the loss to the Los Angeles Rams combined with the Arizona Cardinals improbable win over the Buffalo Bills dropped the Hawks all the way to third place in the division. That is, of course, concerning for a team that started the season 5-0 before losing three of four games since the bye week, however, perhaps what is more concerning is the simple fact that Rams coach Sean McVay appears to have their number.
Specifically, since entering the division in 2017 to replace Jeff Fisher, McVay and Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll have gone head to head seven times, and the Rams have now emerged victorious from five of those games.
