NFC West rivalry Rams Vs Seahawks

History of Rams Vs Seahawks
Things really kicked off in the early 2010s with both teams emerging as the NFC powers. That division belonged to the Seahawks and their Legion of Boom defense with Russell Wilson and Marshawn Lynch together for a few years.
Opposite the Rams was coach Sean McVay and quarterback Jared Goff who led a new golden age of success for Los Angeles, however. The Seahawks struggled against a high powered offense which included Todd Gurley & Cooper Kupp.
