The insider
Seahawks run away with it, 56-7
Seattle put on a clinic against Los Angeles in week 14, beating the Rams 56-7 behind Jalen Milroe's 5 touchdown passes and 380 yards through the air. Milroe completed 15 of 28 passes and added 97 yards on the ground, while Tory Horton caught 5 passes for 145 yards and 3 scores—Seattle's offense was operating at another level entirely. The Seahawks out-gained Los Angeles 495 to 328 total yards and forced 3 turnovers while committing just 1, a pattern that defined the afternoon. Justin Fields threw 3 interceptions with no touchdowns for the Rams, who managed 105 passing yards in a game that settled into one direction fast.

THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rams | +2.7 | +5.5 | -2.7 | -4 |
| Seahawks | +24.0 | +2.4 | +21.6 | +33 |
SRS is how many points a side beats an
average team by once you account for who they played — beat a good
team by 3 and it counts for more than beating a bad one by 20.
SOS is how hard that schedule has been.

Seattle turned this into target practice. Jalen Milroe threw 5 touchdown passes—a season's worth of highlights in one afternoon—while Justin Fields threw 3 picks and nothing else, and that gap between what each offense could actually do decided a 49-point game before it mattered.
Jordan Hayes

Los Angeles got run over on the ground—223 yards—and never found a way to pressure Seattle's quarterback, which meant Milroe had all afternoon to pick them apart from a 72% pass diet that worked exactly as advertised.
They only ever read the box score and this league's own numbers —
none of them has a source, and none of them can report anything that
did not happen.

Counted from the weeks each man actually held his team — so a franchise that changed hands is not credited to whoever has it now. Nothing above is a playcall: the export does not carry those, and neither does this.

Bold is the side that won that line. Giveaways come off a team's own offensive rows and takeaways off its own defensive rows — two separate payloads, so they need not tie out against each other.
