    Rams DC Chris Shula with 14 (!) snaps of dime on 1st and 2nd down in this game. Over 60% of his early-down defensive snaps had 5+ defensive backs on the field.

    After the Rams’ 4 interceptions against Seattle in Week 11, they now own the league’s 2nd‑best turnover differential

    Blaine Grisak@bgrisakTST
    Jared Verse led the NFL with 7 pressures with Myles Garrett. Byron Young also had 4. Darnold was pressured 13 times T-2nd most in a game this season.

    This season Ethan Evans ranks T-2nd in the NFL for punts downed inside the 10-yard line (8) and T-4th in punts downed inside the 5-yard line (3). Since entering the league in 2023, he ranks T-4th in punts downed inside the 10 (30) and T-3rd in punts downed inside the 5 (10).

    And the result in 2025? I was listening to the vid WV posted in the “Seattle game…tweets, plays, articles, highlights” thread (here: https://theramshuddle.com/topic/seattle-game-tweets-plays-articles-highlights/). It was posted at 7:06 pm today, for now it’s the end of the thread (which could change).

    At one point (starting at about 4:13 in) the analyst says this about the Rams secondary after the Seattle game: “they’re really coming together as a legitimate coverage unit….for the season now, they lead the league in coverage grade.” He adds they don’t have a big name shut-down corner, “but the way they’re playing as a unit really culminated in this game….It’s not just Darnold letting the Seahawks down….”

    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.

    but the one unit that looks better than every other single-unit in the AFC is — the Broncos defense. I agree with that.

    Broncos offense also has Payton, and is ranked 13th in yards & 17th in points, which is enough when your defense is ranked 3rd & 3rd. Though they just lost their RB, Dobbins.

    Not enough can be said about this Rams defense. They were on the field for essentially the entirety of the second quarter. The Rams had 22:11 in total time of possession and 10:30 came in the first quarter. For the rest of the game, the Seahawks nearly tripled the Rams in total time of possession. Time and time again, the Rams defense was asked to get a stop and they delivered. When the offense got stopped in the red zone, the defense created a turnover. When the Seahawks had a chance to go down the field and take the lead, it was the defense that created a turnover and put the offense in position to score.

    McVay adjusts off 13 personnel

    It became pretty evident early in the game that the Rams were not going to have as much success in 13 personnel against the Seahawks as they had in previous games. One of the big points coming into the game was how the Seahawks would match the Rams in 13 personnel. The Seahawks matched in nickel and, outside of the first big run to Kyren Williams, had success doing that. This was a defense that made it very difficult for the Rams’ tight ends to win their blocking matchups, especially in the run game.

    Against the Seahawks, the Rams went to 13 personnel just 36 percent of the time and averaged 2.7 yards per play. In 11 personnel, the Rams averaged 6.3 yards per play. The 13 personnel twist that the Rams have made their identity simply didn’t work against this defense. McVay did the right thing and adjusted off of it. While the offense didn’t have a great performance, it did just enough.

    A kid who grew up a Rams fan, looking up to Steven Jackson, is now part of the franchise’s career Top 10 for rushing yards (9th, and well on his way to 7th).

    Kyren Williams has rushed for 50+ yards in 24 straight games — longest active streak in the NFL & most in Rams history.

    (Eric Dickerson had 23 consecutive games from 1985-87.)

    Jackson – Cleveland doesn’t have an offense
    Hurts – Philadelphia doesn’t need to have an offense
    Stafford – Seattle defense is really good

    ESPN sources: Falcons QB Michael Penix suffered a potentially season-ending knee injury during Sunday’s loss to the Panthers. Penix will be seeking a second opinion, but it is not encouraging.

    from https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-week-11-takeaways-what-we-learned-from-sunday-s-13-games

    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).

    You can see the accuracy drain on Goff in this weather anytime he tries to drive the football. In his career outdoors in the cold, he’s a sub 60% completion passer.

    Williams had his 2 longest runs of the season (I think),

    Yes. His 2 longest runs. And the one called back was a pity. That flag was an example of the Rams shoooting themselves in the foot in this game a bit more often than we’re used to seeing.

    How come Stafford’s not throw’in any INTs ?

    A guess? If this game is any indication, he’s throwing balls away when there’s nuthin there, much more than he used to.

    Also…I think Adams + Nacua opens the field up more than Kupp + Nacua did, or just Nacua.

    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).

    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.

    Davante Adams now has 7 receiving touchdowns over the last 4 games.

    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.

    from https://theramswire.usatoday.com/story/ … ce=twitter

    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%.
