The Rams might be locked into the #6/#7 seed before they even play again

The Rams schedule quirk + NFC West chaos is setting up something weird. After that brutal Week 16 collapse, the Rams don’t play again for 11 days — next game is MNF vs the Falcons. That means they’re basically watching the division race unfold without being able to respond on the field. Here’s the nightmare scenario: if the Seahawks and 49ers keep winning in the meantime, their Week 18 matchup becomes the de facto NFC West title game — while the Rams get mathematically boxed out of the division and end up effectively locked into Wild Card weekend (likely #6 or #7) by the time they even kick off on MNF. If that happens, there’s a real chance the Rams treat the Falcons game (and/or Week 18) like a pre-playoff rest spot to protect Stafford, Kupp/Puka, and key defenders. #NFL #Rams #NFCWest #Playoffs #Wildcard #Seahawks #49ers #NFLDiscussion
