The Rams , who are winners of two in a row, have a chance to send Seattle to the bottom of the division standings.
While Metcalf’s sheer production fueled the offense, his impact as a decoy is equally important. The Bills had much less respect for the verticality of Seattle’s offense with Metcalf out, and rightfully so. If the run game struggles once again versus the Rams, the Seahawks offense will have a tough time getting untracked.Metcalf’s absence amplifies this fact even more. Seattle is 29th in rush yards per game and coming off a season-low 32 team rushing yards versus Buffalo.
Smith only has eight touchdown passes on the season, which is tied for 16th in the league. He has to start putting points on the board, even though forces are working against him. Seattle needs Smith at his best if this team is going to get back on track.
