The Stakes Are High as the Seahawks and Rams Square Off in a Game with Division Title Implications

Sam Darnold focuses on rest and recovery during a short week after taking hits last Sunday, aiming to improve after four interceptions in the prior Rams matchup.

  • Sam Darnold is focusing on recovery during the short, three-day week before the Seahawks host the Los Angeles Rams in a crucial NFC West rematch at Lumen Field Thursday night.
  • Across the past 12 months, three big-game struggles shaped scrutiny, including Week 18 last year and a playoff loss where the Los Angeles Rams sacked Sam Darnold nine times.
  • Recent offensive numbers complicate the matchup for Seattle, as Sam Darnold hasn't topped 300 yards in four games and Jason Myers kicked six field goals last Sunday.
  • With attention on the quarterback, defensive play and weather gain prominence as a lot of eyes focus on Sam Darnold after last month’s four interceptions, while rain and wind gusts at Lumen Field could shape the game.
  • Coaches say clarity and decisiveness will guide game plans this week as Mike Macdonald and Klint Kubiak emphasize precise play-calling amid Davante Adams' hamstring uncertainty and Seattle’s limited tertiary receivers.
