Head to Head

Seattle Seahawks Form

Seattle Seahawks were far from fluent as they ended the regular season with a 26-23 victory over the San Francisco 49ers to go 12-4 for the campaign.

Despite the below-par performance, it was a fourth straight win for the NFC West champions. That includes a Week 16 victory at home to runners-up Los Angeles Rams and a 40-3 thumping of the New York Jets.

The Seahawks have a formidable home record in NFL playoffs, winning 10 straight at Lumen Field since going down to the Rams 16 years ago.

Seattle Seahawks Team News

Safety Jamal Adams has been listed as a game-time decision, although he expected to be fit to play. Running back Chris Carson is managing a foot problem, but S Damarious Randall is back after a positive Covid-19 test and added tight end Luke Willson to their roster.

Los Angeles Rams Form

Los Angeles Rams waved goodbye to the NFC West title when losing two games in row in Weeks 15 and 16.

A 23-20 defeat to the New York Jets was followed by a 20-9 loss in Seattle against the Seahawks, a result that handed their hosts the divisional crown.

Without injured quarterback Jared Goff last week, John Wolford made his NFL debut and did enough to get the Rams over the line against the Arizona Cardinals 18-7.

Whether it is Goff or Wolford pulling the strings, it is the Rams defence that holds the key to their chances of upsetting the Seahawks.

Los Angeles Rams Team News

Quarterback Jared Goff should be back in action after missing Week 17 with a dislocated right thumb. Running back Cam Akers has returned to training and should feature after an ankle injury. Receiver Cooper Kupp missed Week 17 due to Covid-19.
