The Seattle Seahawks just won the Super Bowl, and they knocked the Los Angeles Rams out of the playoffs during their run, and if you hear Jared Verse talk about the loss, he seems to say that the Rams weren’t ready for Darnold’s best self.
L.A.’s defense seemed to think they would get after Seattle, but instead, Seattle got after them.
Matthew Stafford and the offense put up a great effort, but their defense and special teams didn’t match it. And in the end, the offense came up short too. The team fell short.
So, maybe it’s a learning lesson for some players on the Rams, but seems like it’s a lesson that they should’ve already known. Seattle was going to be a tough out, why anyone would’ve thought otherwise seems odd.
Verse does say in the interview that he knew Seattle was a good team, but I guess he thought the Rams would be better. That’s not what happened.
Thank you for checking out Turf Show Times, congrats to Cooper Kupp, Ernest Jones, Cam Akers and some others for their Super Bowl win, and now we really start the NFL offseason! What a year.
Happy Monday.
Jared Verse: Rams defense ‘mentally shut down’ in NFC championship (ramswire)
“Jared Verse fully admits that, taking the blame for Los Angeles’ heartbreaking loss on the road in Seattle. He joined “The Pivot” podcast and shared some shocking statements about the Rams’ young defense and their mentality – both leading up to the game, and during it.
“We all hyped up all week,” he said. “We’re like, ‘Yeah, we’re going to beat them again. We know what we learned from last time.’ And then when we start having trouble – early on, they throw a big play, everybody’s kind of like, s—-ing the bed. Like, ‘Oh, what do we do now? This isn’t going the way we thought this was going to go. They’re not laying down.’”

Analyst proposes Rams hypothetical trade for Maxx Crosby (sports.yahoo)
“The future of Las Vegas Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby will be one of the biggest storylines to follow during the 2026 offseason. While both the Raiders and Crosby have reputed reports of a split, many believe the team will eventually move the disgruntled player.
The Rams don’t need another edge rusher, but general manager Les Snead insinuated that the team will make some big moves to capitalize on Matthew Stafford’s return. A trade for Crosby isn’t out of the question, either, considering the draft capital, salary cap space and veterans L.A. could send in any move.“
