Rams to Start Jimmy Garoppolo in Season Finale Against Seahawks

With the NFC West title secured, the Rams will rest key starters, including Matthew Stafford, in preparation for the playoffs.

Jimmy Garoppolo will start for the Los Angeles Rams in their regular-season finale against the Seattle Seahawks, with Matthew Stafford resting ahead of the playoffs.
The Rams have already clinched the NFC West title and are guaranteed at least the No. 4 seed in the playoffs, with the potential to secure the No. 3 seed depending on Sunday’s results.
Head coach Sean McVay is prioritizing player health and may rest additional starters, including key offensive players like Kyren Williams, Puka Nacua, and Cooper Kupp.
Garoppolo, who signed a one-year deal with the Rams in March, has primarily served as the scout team quarterback this season and last started an NFL game in October 2023.
The Rams will host a wild-card playoff game at SoFi Stadium, with potential opponents including the Washington Commanders, Green Bay Packers, Detroit Lions, or Minnesota Vikings.
