For an entire game, the Seattle Seahawks stood toe-to-toe with the NFC’s only undefeated team, determined to get revenge for the 42-7 thumping the Los Angeles Rams delivered on them last season. Unfortunately the NFL does not reward moral victories, and the Seahawks instead have to head to London with a 33-31 loss.
It’s been a long time since we’ve said that the Rams are conclusively better than the Seahawks, but that’s the case now. They’re probably going to get a first-round bye, whereas Seattle is maybe going to be fighting for a wild card spot. That the Seahawks didn’t look like one of the worst teams in the NFL is of some comfort to me, but the loss still stings.
