The (8-4-1) host the (4-9) on "Thursday Night Football." The final meeting of the year between the NFC West rivals comes 13 weeks after Los Angeles outlasted Seattle. 9-3, in a field-goal-fest. Now, some three months later, these teams are going in completely different directions. It's been a busy week for the for all the wrong reasons. On Sunday, they suffered a 42-14 home lo Pyotr Kochetkov Men Jersey s to the . In the locker room afterward, 2015 first-round pick had some thoughts on Los Angeles' offense: "It looked like a middle school offense out there." Gurley isn't wrong. The Rams rank last in offensive efficiency, according to ' metrics. Put another way: They're more inept than the , and . And perhaps that reality, along with Gurley's frank a se sment, had something to do with the Rams finally, mercifully, after four-plus seasons of mostly terrible football. Fisher leaves the team with a 31-45-1 record, and since he was hired in 2012, the Rams haven't had a winning record. NFL Week 15 Los Angeles will finish the season with John Fa sel, the special teams coordinator who was named interim coach, and if the first 13 games are any indication, things will likely get better before they get worse. We say that with the full understanding that, for all of this team's i sues during Fisher's tenure, they were inexplicably dominant against the . Somehow, through all the mediocrity (the Rams are coming off 7-9 and 6-10 seasons), those Fisher-coached teams had an uncanny knack for beating the Seahawks, who are 30-14-1 in that same span. Specifically, the Rams have won four of the last five meetings, including the aforementioned Week 2 matchup. We expect that to change. Recent Rams-Seahawks history aside, Thursday night should be a confidence-booster for the Seahawks fresh off a demoralizing 38-10 lo s to the at Lambeau Field. "I'm really confident we'll bounce back," linebacker said Tuesday, via the . "We're not going to have another game like that. It was a just a crazy series of events. I can't see us doing that twice in one week. We're hungry, we're ready to get back out there, and it Lee Stempniak Kids Jersey 's going to show." "That's not typical us," wideout added. "For instance, we had a lot of balls we dropped as receivers, we don Jaccob Slavin Jersey 't do that. Five interceptions, we don't do that. It's easier for us to get past because we know that's not normal." Also not normal: a Seahawks defense that is without . The all-world safety, a 2010 first-round pick, mi sed his first start in Week 12. Then, a week later, he was lost for the season after breaking his leg. And now this defense must figure out how to function in a post-Thomas world. It's impo sible to oversell just how integral he is to the Seahawks' defensive philosophy. But there's also a guy by the name of who can go a long way to mitigate any other concerns about this team. If he plays like he did in 2015, when he ranked third in total value and value per play among all quarterbacks, according to , he can put this team on his back, even with Thomas sidelined. If, instead, Wilson stumbles through the next month or so in much the same way he played earlier this season (when, admittedly, he was hobbled by an ankle injury) -- or, God forbid, Sunday in Green Bay -- the Seahawks won't have a chance in January. We're betting on the former.How to watch What: Los Angeles Rams vs. Seattle Seahawks When: Thursday, Dec. 15, 8:25 p.m. ET Where: CenturyLink Field TV: Network, NBC Play-by-play: Al Michaels Color analyst: Cris Collinsworth Sideline reporter: Heather Cox Twitter: (see schedule below)Streaming: Sunday Ticket: Online: (available to watch online after midnight) Latest odds: The Seahawks are currently 16.0-point favorites SportsLine: It's Color Rush Thursday, y'all (again)!
