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.
