Two of the hottest teams in the NFL collide at SoFi Stadium in Week 11, when the Los Angeles Rams (7-2) host the Seattle Seahawks (7-2) in a matchup that could shape the entire NFC playoff picture.
Both sides have rattled off four straight wins and sit neck-and-neck atop the division. This isn’t just another divisional scrap; it’s a battle for control of the NFC West and maybe even for pole position in the race for the conference’s top seed.
Sean McVay’s group is firing on all cylinders. Quarterback Matthew Stafford is in sensational form, ranking first among the league leaders in passing touchdowns and leading the MVP race as a result.
It helps that he has an embarrassment of riches at his disposal, the best of which is Puka Nacua. The 24-year-old is third among all wideouts with 775 receiving yards despite sitting out Week 7 with an injury.
Across from him, veteran Davante Adams has been a touchdown demon - averaging one score per game since the start of the year.
In the backfield, Kyren Williams continues to get the job done. He's averaging 4.5 yards per carry, and brings balance to an offense that can - and has - overcome opposing defenses with relative ease.
The Seahawks defense has conceded only 19.1 points per game, good enough for fifth among all teams, but maintaining that high bar will be challenging against this potent Rams' offense.
If Seattle is to contain Stafford and Co., their defensive line must create pressure. Boye Mafe, Uchenna Nwosu, Leonard Williams, and Byron Murphy have helped the unit generate 32 sacks - good enough to tie second among all teams in that regard.
Linebacker Ernest Jones, so crucial to the Seahawks' defense, has hinted at his return after missing Week 10. Between him, rookie phenom Nick Emmanwori, and shutdown corner Devon Witherspoon, Seattle is better equipped than most to keep McVay's offense in check.
Many continued to doubt quarterback Sam Darnold after his breakout year with the Vikings in 2024. The 28-year-old has silenced those critics by playing at an even higher level since joining Seattle.
He has forged an incredible partnership with Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who has become a weekly highlight reel. He's the only wide receiver to surpass 1,000 yards so far this year, and leads the next nearest player by more than 200 yards.
Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet share the Seahawks' backfield, creating a two-headed monster that few teams can tame.
As dangerous as Seattle has been on offense, the Rams' defense is a force to be reckoned with. Up front, they have an incredible group comprising reigning Defensive Rookie of the Year Jared Verse, edge rusher Byron Young, and defensive tackles Kobie Turner and Braden Fiske.
When that group is not making Darnold feel uncomfortable in the pocket, Linebackers Nate Landman and safety Quentin Lake, along with cornerback Darious Williams, are holding it down in the second and third levels.
This high-stakes divisional showdown has all the makings of a classic. Cancel your other plans, buckle in, and make sure to follow the action live on DAZN with NFL Game Pass.

SoFi Stadium, Inglewood, California.
This series is finely balanced, with the Seahawks holding a slight 28-27-0 advantage.
The Seahawks won 25-20 when these two teams last met in the 2024 regular season finale, but Stafford and most of the Rams' offensive starters sat out the game with their postseason berth already secured.
Los Angeles has scored more than 30 points in three straight games. If any team can keep them under that mark, it's the Seahawks.
However, I suspect Darnold won't have the same amount of time to throw as he has enjoyed against most opponents, and that will prove to be the difference between the two sides.
Los Angeles Rams 26 - 17 Seahawks
