Overview
- Sean McVay confirmed his starters will suit up in the regular-season finale, saying, "We need to play better football."
- Los Angeles is effectively the NFC's No. 6 seed with only a limited pathway to No. 5, so the matchup has modest seeding implications.
- Matthew Stafford threw three interceptions in the Week 17 loss to Atlanta and fell from the top of MVP odds, according to oddsmakers.
- The Rams have lost two straight, and players described the showing as uncharacteristic while calling for soul searching before the playoffs.
- Arizona enters on a long losing skid with one of the NFL’s weakest defenses, and early odds have the Rams about -7.5 with a total near 46.5; McVay has not specified how much the starters will play.
