Overview

  • Los Angeles and Seattle are 7-2, the winner will take sole possession of the NFC West lead, and kickoff is 1:05 p.m. PT on FOX at SoFi Stadium.
  • Rams wideout Davante Adams missed Wednesday’s practice with an oblique strain, but Sean McVay said he is making progress and expects him to play.
  • Defensive lineman Kobie Turner did not practice for Los Angeles due to a back issue, while Seattle’s report listed 13 players and starting center Jalen Sundell is out multiple weeks.
  • SportsLine’s projection model moves the division odds to roughly 70% for the winner and about the mid-20s for the loser, underscoring the game’s outsized stakes.
  • Both teams enter on four-game winning streaks and are the NFL’s only clubs ranked top five in both scoring offense and scoring defense this season.
