Rams to Rest Key Starters Against Seahawks in Regular-Season Finale

The Rams, having clinched the NFC West, will sit several offensive starters, while the Seahawks aim for a 10th win and individual milestones.

  • The Rams, already NFC West champions, will rest quarterback Matthew Stafford, receivers Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua, running back Kyren Williams, and multiple offensive linemen in preparation for the playoffs.
  • Veteran Jimmy Garoppolo will make his first start for the Rams, providing an opportunity to showcase his skills before his contract expires.
  • The Seahawks, eliminated from playoff contention, aim to end their season on a high note with a 10th win and tie their franchise record for road victories.
  • Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith and receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba are chasing contract incentives and franchise records, including Smith-Njigba needing five catches to set a new single-season receptions mark.
  • Despite resting some key players, the Rams' defense is expected to feature limited roles for its starters, while backups like rookie running back Blake Corum will see increased opportunities.
