The NFL was waiting to see if the Week 18 game between the L.A. Rams and Seattle Seahawks would be for something, but that idea was put to bed on Sunday night when the Commanders beat the Falcons. With that result, the Rams clinched the NFC West and the three-seed in the NFC playoffs, eliminating the Seahawks from playoff contention.
So with that, the Week 18 game means nothing and won’t be flexed to Sunday or Saturday night. Fans shouldn’t expect to see Matthew Stafford or Puka Nacua either, as the Rams will rest starters as Sean McVay always does in situations like this one.
