Geno Smith Leads 27-23 Comeback Victory Over Rams: Live Game Log
; The Seattle Seahawks will look to get back on track on Sunday afternoon as they hit the road to take on NFC West foes, the Los Angeles Rams.
At 6-5, the Seahawks find themselves just outside of the NFC playoff picture while the Rams have stumbled to a disappointing 3-8 record following their Super Bowl run last year.
Of course, just because the Rams look like an easy win on paper, the Seahawks can't take them lightly. They learned that lesson the hard way as last Sunday they took a 40-34 overtime loss against a struggling Las Vegas Raiders team.
The Seahawks will look to take advantage of an injury depleted Rams team, especially on defense. The Rams have suffered multiple injuries along the offensive line and will play this game without the duo of quarterback Matthew Stafford and receiver Cooper Kupp.
A loss to the Rams doesn't entirely eliminate the Seahawks from playoff contention, but it makes their path to get there more difficult than they would like it to be.
Stay tuned as we provide live drive-by-drive updates as the Seahawks take on the Rams from SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon.
