The Seattle Seahawks will go head-to-head against the Los Angeles Rams in a pivotal NFC West matchup during Week 18, which will mark the conclusion of the 2024 NFL regular season.
The Rams (10-6) have already secured the NFC West division title and are positioned as the No. 3 seed for the NFL playoffs. Head coach Sean McVay has decided to rest several key players, including quarterback Matthew Stafford, in preparation for the playoffs. As a result, Jimmy Garoppolo will take the reins as the starting quarterback for the Rams in the final game of the season against Seattle.
On the other hand, the Seahawks (9-7) were still in the hunt for a playoff spot going into Week 17 but were officially eliminated from contention despite a win over the Chicago Bears. Therefore, their upcoming game against the Rams will serve as a chance to compete for pride and improve their draft positioning. Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald has indicated that quarterback Geno Smith is expected to start against the Rams.
Fans looking to catch the action can tune in to the NFL Week 18 game on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET (1:25 p.m. PT). The game will be televised regionally on Fox and will also be available for streaming on NFL+, YouTube TV (NFL Sunday Ticket), as well as Fubo, which is offering a free trial for new users.
Inglewood, California, will host this exciting matchup at SoFi Stadium on January 5.
This game not only offers a chance for teams to conclude their seasons with fervor but also allows fans to witness NFL talents perform under pressure, fostering excitement for the next season.
As the season comes to a close, the Seahawks and Rams have the opportunity to make their mark, giving fans a reason to rally and look forward to future matchups.
