It’s not often that Thursday Night Football gives us the game of the week, but here we are. The Los Angeles Rams travel to face the Seattle Seahawks, and it’s a game with huge implications not just for who could end up with the NFC West crown, but potentially the No. 1 seed in the playoffs, with home field advantage being the prize at the end.

McVay’s exciting personal news comes at a time when the Rams are hoping to cement themselves as the number one seed in the NFC heading into the playoffs, which would earn them a bye in the first round, and leave them just two wins away from an appearance in the Super Bowl.

The Los Angeles Rams released an injury update on Davante Adams, and his status points to a game-time decision versus the Seahawks.

If you look at run success rate and explosive play run rate, the Rams are head-and-shoulders better than the rest of the NFL. Just look at this chart from TruMedia, compiled by Fantasy Life's Ian Hartitz: According to Pro Football Reference, Williams and Corum rank Nos. 1 and 2 in run success rate at 65.9% and 59.8%, respectively.

Arguably the best matchup on Sunday's Week 15 NFL slate comes in the late afternoon window when the Detroit Lions head out west to face the Los Angeles Rams, bringing Jared Goff and Matthew Stafford face to face with their old franchises.

The Los Angeles Rams were struggling on special teams, but a pair of changes have fixed things and made everyone calmer.

Quarterbacks were key. Stafford found Parkinson for two touchdowns, including the score that put the Rams up for good late in the third quarter. At the same time, Jared Goff kept Detroit alive with several big throws, hitting Amon-Ra St. Brown repeatedly and finding Jameson Williams for a deep TD before halftime.

The Rams held on to beat the Lions in a thrilling shootout, beating Detroit 41-34 at home to clinch a playoff berth.
