Rams vs Seahawks Live Game Thread

The Los Angeles Rams' season boils down to their Week 16 rematch against the Seattle Seahawks. A divisional sweep against the second-best team in the NFC West would secure their position atop their division and give them a really good chance of locking down the number one seed for the playoffs.

The Rams should feel good about themselves after their Week 15 domination over the Detroit Lions, but they shouldn't get comfortable. Not only will this game be played on a short week, but they'll be playing on the road. What are some things the Rams have to look out for in this matchup?

What To Keep in Mind?

First and foremost, this is a Thursday night football game. The only time the Rams have had a TNF matchup this season was against their other divisional rival, the San Francisco 49ers, and it resulted in an overtime loss. That was a game the Rams shouldn't have lost, and they did so on the backs of both Matthew Stafford and Kyren Williams fumbling and losing the football.

That's going to be the key against the Seahawks in their rematch, mistake free football. The Rams intercepted Sam Darnold four times in their Week 11 matchup, and they still narrowly won. They cannot afford to put the ball in harm's way, and that's going to be difficult without their secondary wide receiver.

Davante Adams reaggravated his hamstring injury in their win against the Lions, and he's officially doubtful for tonight's game. The last time these two teams met, Adams notched a whopping one catch for one yard on eight targets. It isn't like Adams was effective against the Seahawks, but it's still a detriment to the Rams to not even have him out there.

Puka Nacua has been in the headlines lately due to his comments about the NFL's officiating, and he'll need to show out tonight against the Seahawks' defense. He was their best receiver by far in their first win over the Seahawks. That will need to happen again if the Rams want two wins over them this season.

This is the Rams' most crucial game up to this point in the season. They can't afford to let it slip away.

The game kicks off at 5:15 PM PST / 8:15 PM EST and can be watched on Amazon Prime Video!
