The Seahawks head to LA to play a tightly contested matchup

While the Seattle Seahawks are a good team which is evidenced by their record of 6-2, they did not look like the team that they’re capable of being when they lost to the Buffalo Bills last week.

They showed that even though they are a good team (especially the offense) on paper, they can be beaten by teams that pair up with them which the Bills do. The team they face this week, the Los Angeles Rams, also have a similar team to the Seahawks on paper although as we all know, that doesn’t matter as it’s ultimately what occurs on the field is the most important thing.

As the NFC West is one of the closest and most competitive divisions, every win matters and it does so even more this week for the Seahawks. While the Seahawks currently hold the first seed in the division, a loss to the Rams will have the two teams at 6-3. To point out, if the Arizona Cardinals beat the same team the Seahawks lost to this week in the Bills, they will be 6-3 as well which will cause a three-way tie for first.

If the Seahawks do win though, it will put them a little ahead and give the team a little breathing room down the road.

As this is a very important game, here is who you should keep an eye on when the Seahawks and Rams play at SoFi Stadium.
