Daniel Keller: "Los Angeles threw 43 times for 41 rushing yards and still lost by 18—a recipe that works nowhere. Davante Adams got 177 yards against nothing, which tells you everything about how little else the Rams could generate; Seattle's defense made them one-dimensional and then made them pay for it." Luca Santana: "Seattle is locked in at 11-4 with a scoring margin that says they're a legitimately strong team—they're outperforming what their point differential alone would predict—while Los Angeles, now 4-11 and holding a negative scoring margin even after 327 passing yards, has drifted into genuine rebuild territory."

Seahawks did what they needed to, 27-9. Matthew Stafford did the damage for Rams — 23/43, 327 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT — in a losing effort. Davante Adams was the target for Rams — 8 catches, 177 yards, 1 TD. Make it 4 consecutive games past 250 for Matthew Stafford. Through the air: Rams 327, Seahawks 160.

Daniel Keller: "Seattle got everything it needed from a receiver in Rashid Shaheed—130 yards and 2 touchdowns on 2 catches—while New York's Jaxson Dart threw 4 interceptions into a 28-point hole that had nothing to do with volume and everything to do with not taking care of the football."

Seattle routed New York 40-12 in week 14, a 28-point margin decided by turnover differential and pass rush. Jaxson Dart completed 17 of 28 for 236 yards and 2 touchdowns but threw 4 interceptions, while the Giants gave it away 5 times total to Seattle's 3. Rashid Shaheed caught 2 passes for 130 yards and 2 touchdowns, and Robert Beal Jr had 2 sacks as the Seahawks generated 4 total, outgaining New York 398 yards to 341.

Kayla James: "Dallas waltzed through this one like Seattle wasn't there—a 35-7 rout where the Seahawks managed 44 rushing yards and 4 turnovers, the kind of self-inflicted collapse that erases any chance you have. Dak Prescott's 4 touchdown passes told the real story: when one team plays clean and the other hemorrhages the football, there's no game to be played." Devon Walker: "Javonte Williams finished with 126 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries—his best day of the season by a wide margin. When Dallas could lean on its ground game like that, Seattle's defense had no chance to catch up."

Dallas dismantled Seattle 35-7 in a game that was decided by execution and discipline. Dak Prescott went 9 for 16 for 242 yards and 4 touchdowns, while Javonte Williams ran for 126 yards and a score on 11 carries, establishing a ground game the Seahawks couldn't match with just 44 rushing yards of their own. The margin came down to the basics: Dallas gained 391 total yards to Seattle's 139, committed just 1 turnover against Seattle's 4, and sacked the Seahawks without allowing a sack in return. At 12-1, the Cowboys have separated themselves from the rest; Seattle at 8-4 now faces real questions about keeping pace in their division.

Seattle beat Arizona 58-42 in a game that turned on turnovers and run defense. Will Levis put up 423 yards and 5 touchdowns for the Cardinals, and Elic Ayomanor caught 4 passes for 172 yards and 2 scores, but Arizona's 3 giveaways and 26 rushing yards doomed them. Sam Darnold threw 4 touchdowns for the Seahawks, who controlled the ground game with 153 rushing yards and committed just 1 turnover. The Cardinals attempted 27 passes and 5 runs; Seattle ran 26 times and passed 22, and that difference on the ground made the gap.

25 points separated these two, and Seahawks had all of them. Ashton Jeanty ran it for Seahawks — 22 carries, 193 yards, 3 TD. Jaxon Smith-Njigba moved the ball for Seahawks — 3 catches, 60 yards, 2 TD. A season best for Ashton Jeanty. On the ground: Seahawks 224, Bears 13.
