Offense Preparation Ahead of the Rams Clash

Seattle Seahawks’ offense line is gearing up for a critical Thursday night match after a recent game that ended with four turnovers. Despite scoring 414 yards and converting 26 first downs, the team struggled to translate those numbers into points.

Key stats: 414 yards, 26 first downs, 4 interceptions—turnovers that denied the Seahawks scoring opportunities.

The main issue was the Rams defense exploiting those interceptions, denying the Seahawks chances to launch drives from key yard lines and stifling their scoring potential.

This game will decide the NFC West crown, making it a high‑stakes matchup.

Sam Darnold’s Mindset

Before the second meeting with the Rams, QB Sam Darnold said he does not view the game as revenge. “Just another opponent,” he explained, acknowledging it’s a divisional duel and that his previous performance was not his best.

He emphasized the importance of continuing the practice focus and paying attention to details. Darnold noted the Rams have a solid defense, intelligent defensive backs, and a strong lineup.

• Maintaining ball security
• Smart decision‑making on the field
• Leveraging a disciplined defensive line

He added, “We’re excited for this challenge and ready.”

Team Momentum & Previous Successes

Darnold, like his teammates, recognizes the significance of an 11‑3 record and the potential to secure the NFC’s first overall draft pick. He described the season’s importance as “meaningful football.”

He highlighted recent performances, such as the Week 16 match against Minnesota, where he threw three touchdown passes and engineered a late‑game victory. He also guided the Colts to a fourth‑quarter turnaround with two scores.

Only one interception in his last four games suggests his ability to navigate top defenses.

Coaching Perspective

“Sam’s clever decision‑making has been crucial—our running backs have also protected the ball well. We see the team’s success reflected in the record. Consistent evolution is required.”

Coach Mike Macdonald expects Darnold to maintain the same level of performance throughout the season. He wants the quarterback to play with determination, foresight, and severity, executing the game plan swiftly and with confidence.

New Rivalries Gear Launch

In preparation for the Week 16 home game against the Rams, Seahawks unveiled a new “Rivalries” uniform designed with Nike and the NFL. The gray and bright green colors represent the “12” fan base.
