If you are in any way affiliated with the Los Angeles Rams, then I am going to guess you didn’t sleep much last night after what was a heartbreaking, deflating and exhausting loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday Night Football. The good news is: The Rams are going to the postseason.
The bad news: Their path to the Super Bowl was always going to be hard, and it just got harder.
L.A. could’ve basically coasted the next two weeks with a win, instead now they will likely need to fight for seeding, but we’ll see. Maybe Seattle and the San Francisco 49ers drop their remaining games, but I doubt it, and you don’t want to leave things like that up to chance if you don’t have to.
Well, now the Rams have to.
The Rams have had a great season, but they’ve been up and down. They’ve been up and down week-to-week (though mostly up) but they’ve been up and down in games and it’s been frustrating for the organization. A blown 19-point lead to the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this year planted the seed that the team can lose leads and lose games, that fact revealed itself again last night.
I’ll keep it real, I’m gutted, but this is not the same feeling as 2019 when the Rams lost to SF in the second to last game of the year, and were eliminated from the playoffs. This isn’t that at all. The Rams can still go where they want to go, but they are going to have a long week, and so are the fans.
The Rams could’ve given themselves an early Christmas gift, and instead they laid down some coal.
I’ll try not to be all doom and gloom, it’s depressing, but the Rams are still alive and that’s exciting. It’s Friday, the holidays are coming, and the Rams still look like they can beat anyone in the league, they can lose to anyone too.

What is the Rams’ clearest path back to an NFC West title and No. 1 seed? (ramswire)
“Though it may feel like the sky is falling for the Los Angeles Rams after Thursday night’s devastating loss to the Seattle Seahawks, their season isn’t over. They still have two more regular-season games and are guaranteed one playoff game. It’s just that their playoff game may now be on the road on wild-card weekend instead of at home in the divisional round.
Had the Rams beaten the Seahawks and not blown a 16-point fourth-quarter lead, they would’ve had a 95% chance to win the division and a 90% shot at a first-round bye. Now, those odds have sunk to 24% and 20%, respectively.“
Los Angeles Rams star Puka Nacua apologizes for doing antisemitic touchdown dance on livestream (nbcnews)
“During the livestream, Ross guided Nacua, a star wide receiver, through an antisemitic touchdown celebration, which ended with Nacua looking into the camera and rubbing his hands together — a stereotypical gesture indicating greed that Ross’ fans call his “iconic Jewish dance.”
Ross then asked Nacua to perform the celebration during the Rams’ game against the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night, and Nacua promised he would.“
