The Rams have the opportunity to spoil their division rival’s playoff hopes Sunday in Seattle.
The Seahawks must defeat Los Angeles for the second time this season and need the Lions to beat or tie the Packers in order to return to the postseason. So Pete Carroll will need some help from Dan Campbell, but first he will have to get past Sean McVay. Los Angeles owes its first-round pick to Detroit, so it doesn’t stand to improve its draft position with a loss.
Seattle has been one of the biggest surprises in the NFL this season, fueled by Pro Bowl quarterback Geno Smith’s play and a talented rookie class.
