My UBER driver in Seattle tells me a ton of L.A. #Rams fans were at the airport here today and tonight ahead of game against #Seahawks

Just watched that big unsportsmanlike conduct penalty against Trumaine Johnson again. I understand keeping your composure, but that was just an unwarranted flag. It was subtle, and he was walking away when they threw it. That should not impact games (or, given that Carson Wentz tore his ACL shortly thereafter, seasons). Johnson said he was not warned beforehand. “Me and Alshon (Jeffery), we know each other,” he said. “We see each other in the offseason. We dab it up, say what’s up. So during the game, man, I was really just playing football, competing. And trash talk comes with that. If you can see the play — PBU, got in his face, and we’re kind of laughing at each other. I’m talking trash, of course. And the ref told me I was in his face, taunting. It was a big, crucial play. But I was just playing ball. Still I can’t believe he threw that flag. Crazy. It really is.”

Rams RB Todd Gurley leads NFC players at his position and finished sixth in fan votes for the Pro Bowl with 693,697. Jared Goff (571,656) is eighth, but trails NFC QBs Drew Brees, Russell Wilson and Carson Wentz, who won’t play the remainder of this season. DT Aaron Donald, K Greg Zuerlein, P Johnny Hekker and KR/PR Pharoh Cooper also led at their positions in fan votes. Final rosters are determined by a combo of fan, player and coach votes, one third each. They’ll be announced Tuesday, 5 pm PT on NFL Network.

Brace yourselves, everyone. I have news. It’s raining in Seattle.

There’s no more looking ahead for Rams. This is the big one.

NFL said Bennett was “going for the ball”. Yeah, right. That’s a dirty play. Plain and simple.

Michael Bennett intentionally goes for the knees of a Jacksonville offensive lineman on a meaningless kneeldown: No fine
Trumaine Johnson talks trash to Alshon Jeffery: $10,000 fine
Good work, NFL.

Robert Quinn has come alive in the last three games: 5 sacks and 13 total pressures (after 3 sacks and 17 pressures in first 10 games). #LARams
