Last Game
Seattle Seahawks 10 – Los Angeles Rams 20
The Seahawks went into Los Angeles decimated by COVID-19. The offense missed WR Tyler Locket as L.A. defensive backs stifled D.K. Metcalf, taking away Russell Wilson’s top two weapons. Meanwhile, the Rams took advantage of a DJ Reed-less secondary to control the clock. Needless to say, the Seahawks’ two-game win streak was snapped.
- QB Russell Wilson – 17 of 31 passing for 156 yards, 1 interception.
- RB Deejay Dallas – 8 rushes for 41 yards, 1 touchdown.
- TE Gerald Everett – 4 receptions for 60 yards.
- LB Jordyn Brooks – 11 tackles (7 solo), 2 tackles for loss.
Outlook
Although the Seattle Seahawks struggled year, without their defensive stars, Chicago is just bad. They lost seven of their last eight games and have few prospects for the rest of this season.
Reed won’t play again this week, but Chicago’s quarterback carousel turns again as Nick Foles makes his first start of the season. The Bears’ only constant under center is inconsistency. Seahawks edge rusher Carlos Dunlap II finally broke out of his season-long slump last week. He’ll be coming after Foles.
Wilson gets Tyler Lockett back this week. Without him, the offense struggled in Los Angeles. In the two weeks prior, Russ looked like the RW3 of old. That should pick back up again on Sunday.
Matchups to watch
- Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett vs. Chicago CB Jalen Ramsey.
- Chicago ILB Roquan Smith vs. Seahawks QB Russell Wilson.
- Seahawks Edges Carlos Dunlap and Darrell Taylor vs. Chicago OT Germain Ifedi and Teven Jenkins.
- Chicago WR Darnell Mooney vs. Seahawks CB Sidney Jones.
