While the rematch doesn't have any significance in the standings, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and company will try to wrap up the Seahawks season with a road win in L.A.
have their sights set on snagging a 10th win for the first time since 2020 as they duel with the Los Angeles Rams for a Week 18 rematch to close out the season.
: Even with the playoffs not on the line anymore, all three of the Seahawks top receivers have individual milestones and/or franchise/NFL records in play going into Sunday's finale. Smith-Njigba needs just five receptions to surpass Lockett for the single-season team record, while he has a long shot chance at Metcalf's single-season receiving record, needing 184 yards to pass him.
Los Angeles will try to counter by getting the ball out of backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo's hands quickly, but the trifecta of Nwosu, Mafe, and Hall should be licking their chops with the chance to feast on a pair of backup tackles who haven't done well in pass protection. In particular, those matchups should be a major benefit to Hall, who only needs two sacks to become the first Seahawk with 10 sacks since 2018 and has much to play for on that front.
: With Kyren Williams resting this week, Corum and Rivers will take over as the primary backs for the Rams, offering vastly different skill sets to complement one another. Formerly starring at Michigan, the 5-9, 215-pound Corum plays like a battering ram with a powerful low center of gravity, running through tackles on a regular basis and cutting his teeth as a downhill, between the tackles runner seeking contact.
