Maybe the only thing I hate more than Cardinals week is Rams week. Since Sean McVay arrived in 2017, the Rams have owned the Seahawks’ number, with Seattle winning two squeakers by a combined 7 points and Los Angeles winning the other four by 66. Every time they’ve played over the last three years it’s felt like one roster (and coaching staff?) is dramatically superior to the other from both talent and scheme standpoints, with the inferior team’s hopes pinned stubbornly to the abilities of an all-world quarterback.
The Seahawks also came into this game absolutely annihilated from a health standpoint, missing their “top” two cornerbacks, top two running backs, and nearly a half-dozen lineman on top of the early season losses.
