This week
It doesn’t look good for the Seahawks today. They were heavy underdogs, to begin with. Then several key injuries put them even further behind. Meanwhile, last week’s loss takes a bunch of pressure off the Rams, they can relax and play. The key for Seattle is the same as it has been since week three, pound the ball right at their opponent and control the clock to limit Los Angeles’ offensive opportunities. It’s much easier said than done.
