Games like Sunday present massive implications for the postseason and the rest of the regular season, no matter who wins or loses. That’s the case for the Los Angeles Rams this weekend when they play host to the Seattle Seahawks in what looks to be an epic duel of the two hottest teams in the NFL.
Led by head coach Sean McVay, the Rams have been here before in a playoff environment with two consecutive postseason appearances just a few years removed from a lowly 5-12 season. The Seahawks, under head coach Mike Macdonald, are new to this atmosphere of contention and pressure as a surprise team in the NFC, contending for the NFC West title.
Sunday’s result matters in more ways than one, especially for Los Angeles as they search for more momentum during the second half of the regular season.
