The Seattle Seahawks managed an ugly 6-3 win over the Chicago Bears on Thursday night, keeping pressure on the L.A. Rams to beat the Arizona Cardinals this Sunday for an almost-guaranteed shot to win the NFC West. With the Seahawks win, L.A. can’t lose to the Cardinals or it sets up a winner-take-west showdown in Week 18 at SoFi Stadium.
So while a Rams loss isn’t as bad as it could be, Sean McVay would surely like to be able to rest starters in Week 18 if he can help it.
