The Los Angeles Rams clinched a playoff spot with their win on Sunday, but they don’t have much time to celebrate because they play a massive game against the Seattle Seahawks this Thursday. This could be the biggest game of the year for the Rams and for the NFC as the winner of this game, could be the team that goes on to take the top spot in the NFC.
It’s been a drama filled season in the NFL, and that drama should continue in Week 16 starting with the Thursday night matchup.

NFL Week 15 takeaways: What We Learned from Sunday’s 14 games (nfl.com)
“Rams dominate second half, blast past Lions. After a back-and-forth, explosive-filled first half, Los Angeles flexed its top-seeded muscle and ran away from Detroit. The Rams headed into halftime trailing, 24-17, having given up 271 yards to Detroit. Matthew Stafford then ripped darts, and the defense smothered Jared Goff. L.A. outgained Detroit, 179 yards to 5 in the third quarter, scoring 17 points to take control. Stafford was off a tick early, but found his mojo, zipping lasers and on-the-mark lobs. The MVP candidate torched his former team for 368 yards on 24-of-38 passing with two touchdowns and an early interception. Puka Nacua (nine receptions for 181 yards) was unstoppable, making massive catches to move the chains. At this point, Puka is unguardable. The ground game with Kyren Williams (15/78/2) and Blake Corum (11/71/1) churned out yards and thrived in the red zone, where L.A. has struggled at times. The Rams’ defense closed down the Lions’ big plays in the second half, smothering the Lions, forcing three consecutive three-and-outs to turn the tenor of the contest. When the Rams are playing complementary football, they’re the best squad in the NFC.“

“So we’ll see what that means,” McVay said. “I can’t imagine that’s good for Thursday with just the short amount of time, but I certainly wouldn’t rule him out quite yet. But it didn’t look good.”
Quarterback Matthew Stafford said if Adams is not available on Thursday, the Rams will be missing “a huge part of our offense.”
“And so that’ll be a tough one,” Stafford said. “I don’t know the extent of it. Didn’t look like it was a good one, so I feel so tough for him.”
Bills’ Josh Allen bolsters MVP case with comeback win over Pats: ‘Who out there is playing better?’ (nfl.com)
Josh Allen remains behind Matthew Stafford and Drake Maye in NFL MVP odds, but don’t tell that to anyone in Buffalo.
The reigning MVP helped the Bills overcome a 21-point second-quarter deficit in New England on Sunday, keeping the chances of a sixth consecutive AFC East title alive.
“I don’t do a very good job of knowing what’s going on around the league, but I can’t, in my mind, imagine anybody else has done more for their team on a more consistent basis than Josh Allen,” coach Sean McDermott told Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated on Sunday. “I mean, who out there is playing better?”
