The Seahawks and Rams will have nothing to play for in Week 18.
The Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams could’ve perhaps been Game 272 and the Sunday Night Football finale just a few weeks ago. It could’ve been for the NFC West title. Hell, it could’ve been for the NFC West title had the Arizona Cardinals not thrown an interception at the goal line on Saturday night. Could’ve been for the NFC West title if the Seahawks had beaten the Rams in the first meeting. None of that happened, and the Seahawks are now officially eliminated from the playoffs.
No national television on Sunday night, no national television on Saturday night, nothing. The only reason the Rams would play their starters for a full game is to clinch the No. 3 seed over the No. 4 seed, which could potentially mean hosting an extra home playoff game if the No. 2 seed loses in the first round. This happened to the Detroit Lions last season when the Dallas Cowboys were bounced by the No. 7 seed Green Bay Packers. I doubt Sean McVay gives a hoot.
