As if this game needed a further testimonial as to its gravitas, the Rams (+310) and the Seahawks (+650) are currently the two favorites to win the Super Bowl (the Broncos sit third at +850). Each is 8-1 in their last nine games.

Sunday was his first time being active since entering the NFL, just six days shy of a complete calendar year since sustaining the injury. He got to take the field for an elite defense, alongside all-pro caliber linemates like Leonard Williams and Byron Murphy, for a team that is in a fight for the top seed in the NFC.

Seahawks have scored 6 points in the first half on offense in each of the last 3 games. That’s not going to cut it. Sam Darnold is the reason nobody takes the Seahawks seriously in the playoffs. This offense is one guy. They don’t scare anybody.

Head coach Shane Steichen told reporters Monday that Rivers will start again in Week 16 against the San Francisco 49ers.

The Seattle Seahawks' offense continues to struggle after they have their worst offensive performance of the season in the 18-16 win over the Indianapolis Colts.

Jason Myers kicked a franchise-record six field goals, including a 56-yarder with 29 seconds left, and the Seattle Seahawks outlasted 44-year-old quarterback Philip Rivers and the Indianapolis Colts 18-16.

What’s a little maddening is that the Seahawks landed two QB hits on the first drive and finished with four. There was probably another game plan there to be devised, in so much as a dude behind his computer screen can fault a defensive mastermind for allowing 16 points.

The budding Seattle star had another big game on Sunday, and is within range of accomplishing something no Seahawk has before.
