"After the Rams' victory over the Detroit Lions on Sunday, the Rams coach left SoFi Stadium for the hospital and the birth of his second son, who arrived Monday morning. Then McVay game-planned for Thursday night's showdown with the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field. Asked this week if he had slept much in the aftermath of the newborn's arrival, the notoriously early-rising McVay chuckled. "Not really," he said. "Even for me. ... This is a good challenge.""
"Both teams are 11-3. The Rams are in first place in the NFC West and they have the tie-breaker over the Seahawks because of their 21-19 victory over them at SoFi Stadium on Nov. 16. But that will change if the Rams cannot hold off a Seahawks team that last week defeated the Indianapolis Colts 18-16 with six field goals."
The Rams travel to Seattle seeking a second win over the Seahawks to solidify their hold on the NFC West, with Davante Adams likely out. Both teams enter at 11-3, and the Rams currently own the head-to-head tiebreaker after a 21-19 victory at SoFi Stadium on Nov. 16. Coach Sean McVay, recently returning from the birth of his second son, prepared the game despite limited sleep and called it a "good challenge." Quarterback Matthew Stafford called the matchup "a big one," and safety Kamren Kinchens said identical records add extra "oomph." The Seahawks arrive off a field-goal-heavy win over the Colts.
