The Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams might’ve maybe been Sport 272 and the Sunday Evening Soccer finale only a few weeks in the past. It might’ve been for the NFC West title. Hell, it might’ve been for the NFC West title had the Arizona Cardinals not thrown an interception on the objective line on Saturday evening. May’ve been for the NFC West title if the Seahawks had crushed the Rams within the first assembly.
None of that occurred, and the Seahawks are actually formally eradicated from the playoffs.
The NFL’s Week 18 schedule revealed that the Seahawks will play the Rams on regional tv at 1:25 pm PT on Sunday, Jan. 5 stay on FOX. No nationwide tv on Sunday evening, no nationwide tv on Saturday evening, nothing. The one purpose the Rams would play their starters for a full sport is to clinch the No. 3 seed over the No. 4 seed, which might doubtlessly imply internet hosting an additional dwelling playoff sport if the No. 2 seed loses within the first spherical. This occurred to the Detroit Lions final season when the Dallas Cowboys had been bounced by the No. 7 seed Inexperienced Bay Packers. I doubt Sean McVay offers a hoot.
Anyway, it’s nonetheless an opportunity to observe your favourite workforce one final time. We’ll nonetheless cowl it like a traditional sport, and we hope you be part of us.
When you’re right here, take a look at the remainder of the Week 18 lineup.
