The good news is that the Seahawks can review their bad offensive footage and try to elevate each unit as they prepare for the Rams. Darnold still had good moments against the Colts, but now he must avenge himself against Los Angeles after throwing four interceptions in the Seahawks’ 21-19 Week 11 road loss to their rivals.

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.

The Seahawks could change the narrative with a win, but right now the Rams look like the better team entering Thursday night's NFC West showdown.

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.

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.

Since last playing, Philip Rivers has had another child — he has 10 now — and one of his daughters has given birth.

The Rams face the Seahawks on Thursday in Seattle and the winner of that game will be in the driver's seat for the top seed in the NFC. The Rams may have beaten the Seahawks earlier this season, but Adams scored a touchdown in that game and they only won by two despite Sam Darnold 's horrific four-interception performance.

Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald gave credit to Director of Football Analysis and Special Situations, Brian Eayrs, as the unsung hero.
