THE 8-2 Los Angeles Rams also have the 8th-overall pick right now.

Jourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigue
– Seahawks D, as I noted last wk, perfectly built and schemed to force Rams out of 13P and also limited to just 17% success rate. Back to 64% 11P with limited numbers.
– Rams D held most explosive pass O in NFL to 1 completion of 20-plus air yards (death by paper cuts) + 4 INTS

Both defenses – artful

Gary Klein@LATimesklein
Midnight Mode, indeed.
On the day the Rams donned black uniforms for the first and only time this season, the offense largely went dark.
But the defense shined brightly.

RAMS ON FILM@RamsOnFilm
Massive divisional win, and in general win on the season. Defense was phenomenal at the end of the day only given up 1 touchdown when faced with many chances in the red zone.

Greg Beacham@gregbeacham
the Rams have won 5 straight games and still haven’t trailed since Week 6.

J.B. Long@JB_Long
Rams end Seattle’s 10-game road winning streak.
LA has won 5 straight to get to 8-2 atop the NFC (West).
Defense had to withstand 79 plays and 37:49 of Seattle possession.

The Rams defense vs the Seahawks:

🐏 4 interceptions
🐏 1 touchdown allowed
🐏 45.5 passer rating allowed

Brock Vierra@BrockVierra
The victory was ugly but often times the teams who win ugly win in the new year.

With that being said, what a game

Rams Bros.@RamsBrothers
How big was that punt that pinned Seattle on the 1? Ethan Evans has to be the special teams player of the week for that.

Nate Atkins@NateAtkins_
Davante Adams with a joyous f-bomb on his way to the podium after the win.

“Now that I got that out of the way…”

He said the offense played like “crap,” him included, but is thrilled for how the defense stepped up and won the game.

J.B. Long@JB_Long
For the QB wins crew…

Matthew Stafford is above .500 for the first time in his 17-year career: 116-115-1 as a starter.

ryan anderson@RLAndersonLAFB
Love the INTs, love the 2nd half pressure…but limiting the explosive passing plays was THE difference

Next Gen Stats@NextGenStats
Emmanuel Forbes matched up against Jaxon Smith-Njigba 20 times, the most times JSN has faced one defender this season.

JSN caught 3 of 5 targets for 30 yards against Forbes; 1.5 yards per matchup against JSN is a season-low this season (min. 7 matchups).

Rams Wire@TheRamsWire
Forbes Jr. had best performance of any CB vs. Jaxon Smith-Njigba all year

Bruce Hartman@brucehartman23
Forbes been playing out of his mind last couple games

Sarah Barshop@sarahbarshop
From ESPN Research: Matthew Stafford has 273 consecutive pass attempts without an interception after Sunday, extending his lead for the longest streak in a season in Rams history.

Stafford has 22 passing touchdowns and zero interceptions in his last seven games. According to ESPN Research, his 22 passing touchdowns are the most over a seven game span without an interception in NFL history.

Field Yates@FieldYates
Davante Adams now has 7 receiving touchdowns over the last 4 games.

Josh@JoshiosTweets
Before this game, the Seahawks had the least amount of plays while trailing.

Today, they had 81 plays while trailing. In the 10 weeks before that, just 97 plays while trailing.

Los Angeles did allow 414 total yards to the Seahawks but yards don’t always translate into points. The Rams let the Seahawks score just one touchdown on four red zone trips, an impressive rate of only 25%.

Rams D intercepts Sam Darnold four times, fends off comeback. In an NFC West slugfest for division supremacy, the Rams’ defense bamboozled Sam Darnold, forcing the quarterback into four interceptions and holding tough in the red zone early. L.A. routinely forced Darnold off his spot and got him skittish in the pocket. The back end jumped the panicked misfires. Kamren Kinchens snagged two INTs, Darious Williams and Cobie Durant each sniped one to stymie the Seahawks’ offense. The Rams’ four interceptions matched their most in a game since 2000 (fifth time, first since Week 16, 2022 versus Denver). With the L.A. offense unable to stay on the field, the defense was forced to push back Seattle time and time again. The crew stood tall. The Seahawks racked up 414 total yards, but L.A. gave up a single touchdown. The bend-but-don’t-break plays early were massive. After the offense again couldn’t milk the clock, the defense forced a 61-yard field goal attempt that sailed way wide to end the game. The stat sheet might not look pretty, but the Rams’ defense was the difference.

Seahawks’ defense plays masterfully. What a wasted effort by Mike Macdonald’s defense. Seattle stuffed the Rams offense repeatedly after two early touchdowns – one coming off an interception. Seattle turned L.A. over on downs on the opening drive of the game. After Darnold’s first INT, it took the Rams four plays to get three yards. Seattle allowed a single drive over five plays on the afternoon on 11 possessions. After the first quarter, the Seahawks allowed just 115 total yards and five first downs on eight Rams drives. Macdonald’s D pestered Matthew Stafford, repeatedly forcing awkward passes and off-target balls. Seattle blitzed the QB on 42.9% of his passes. In the second half, Seattle allowed just 34 yards rushing. The four interceptions killed the Seahawks, with 14 of the Rams’ 21 points coming off INTs in which L.A. started inside the 25-yard-line. On the other two INTs, Seattle didn’t allow a first down (forced fumble after two plays, three-and-out).

Rams’ offense sputters. It’s a good thing Sean McVay got aggressive on fourth downs early in the game, because L.A. needed those conversions to put up points. The Rams’ offense was off-kilter much of the game. After dominating the first quarter, LA gained one yard on three plays in the entire second quarter. Their only plays in Seattle territory in the second half came off turnovers. Matthew Stafford was as off as he’d been all season, including repeatedly missing Davante Adams (one catch on eight targets, TD). Stafford threw two touchdowns but completed 53.6% of his passes for 130 yards. After the run game popped a few good ones early, it was stuffed in the final three quarters. The key: Stafford didn’t throw a pick, and the Rams won the turnover battle, 4-1.

Next Gen Stats Insight for Rams-Seahawks (via NFL Pro): Coming off three straight games using 13 personnel over 38.0% of the time for 4.7 or more yards per play, the Rams went to it on 36.0% of their plays against the Seahawks, but gained only 2.7 yards per play.

NFL Research: The Rams are 8-2 or better to start a season for the first time since 2018. The 2018 Rams started 9-1, finished 13-3, lost Super Bowl LIII versus New England. The Rams have appeared in the Super Bowl in three of the previous four seasons they started 8-2 or better (lost SB in 2018 and 2001, won SB in 1999; lost in wild-card round in 2000).

Mina – “…the god damn rams”

To be fair, though, they actually cover the game–albeit entirely from a Seattle perspective–at 36:00 in. Mina points out that the Rams rattled Darnold with interior pressure while also playing dime, which means they were stopping the run in dime, and that throws things way off for the Seahawks.
