The Seahawks head south to Los Angeles to take on the division rival Rams looking for revenge for a Week 1 disappointment. The Rams, who are admittedly in the process of a mini-rebuild shocked the Seahawks in Week 1 to the tune of a 30-13 Los Angeles upset.

Now, in Week 11, the teams are in very different places. Seattle looks like a contender for the NFC West, while the Rams are just a game ahead of last-place Arizona.

Sunday is a chance to show the rest of the league that the Week 1 fiasco was just a fluke. The Seahawks have won six of eight, and have been embarrassed just one other time this season, with a 37-3 loss to the Ravens in Baltimore. 

“Sometimes that can be a letdown for a team, but it’s just (about) understanding that the season is a very long season,” Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner said. "We were able to rebound from that and have a really good win over Detroit. You can’t allow the outside expectations to affect.”

Rams coach Sean McVay has his work cut out for him for Los Angeles to avoid missing the playoffs for the second consecutive season - something that's never happened to coach Pete Carroll in Seattle.

“What a good job they do of just consistently getting better," McVay said of the Seahawks. "One of the things I always respect is they consistently take steps. There’s always an identity that they play with.”

Second-year edge rusher Boye Mafe has had a tremendous run of success for the Seahawks this year, with one sack in each of the past seven games going back to Week 3 to set a franchise record for a level of pressure that the Seattle defense has needed.

“He’s still a new guy coming up, but he’s playing with such consistency now that it gives him a chance to be available for those kinds of plays,” Carroll said.
