5. A short week to move on

If there is any consolation for the Seahawks here, is that there is no time to dwell on this one. The Seahawks will land in Seattle tonight, and immediately begin their preparation for Thursday night’s game.

The Rams are a genuinely terrible team. Playing them at home on a short week is a recipe for getting back on track and to forget the frustrations from today’s game.

On the other hand, they are also the Rams. The Seahawks have been by far the better team and still lost to the Rams on multiple occasions in recent seasons. That includes earlier this year when the Seahawks  lost 9-3 to the Rams down in LA.

The Seahawks will need to hold serve at home next week if they are going to continue to push for a first round bye in the playoffs.
