Daily Slop - 5 Jan 25: If Washington wins today, Rams and Bucs games critical to playoff matchup

The Rams have already clinched the NFC West. They will enter the playoffs either as the No. 3 or 4 seed. Head coach Sean McVay apparently isn’t too concerned because L.A. will host its Wild Card opponent.

This week, McVay said several starters would not play in the regular-season finale against the Seahawks. McVay ruled out Matthew Stafford, Puka Nacua, Cooper Kupp, Kyren Williams, Kevin Dotson, and Alaric Jackson.

Washington’s other potential Wild Card opponent, the Buccaneers, is playing everyone because they need to win. A Tampa Bay loss and a Falcons win would mean the Buccaneers are out of the playoffs.
