The NFL fixture list continues to provide late Christmas gifts for football fans the world over: tomorrow afternoon sees a pivotal matchup in the NFC West. It's the Seattle Seahawks versus the Los Angeles Rams.
Pete Carrol's Seahawks are sitting pretty atop the division with a record of 10-4. Seattle has already qualified for the playoffs following last week's tough-fought W against a hard-hitting Washington football team.
Sean McVay's Rams (9-5) are just a W behind in 2nd, following an embarrassing loss against the New York Jets last Sunday -- the first game the Jets have won all year. Rams QB, Jared Goff needs to put in a much sharper performance than he did in NY if his side hope to escape the windy city with a much needed win.
Trending
It's Seahawks' Russel Wilson, D.K Metcalf, and one of the NFL's most high-powered offenses against Rams' Aaron Donald and the NFL's number 1 defense. With the winner of this one likely to clinch the NFC West division title, viewers could be in for an absolute treat -- so be sure to tune in!

- Seahawks' QB and MVP candidate, Russel Wilson has thrown for 37 touchdowns this season.
- Seahawks wideout, D.K Metcalf needs just 65 more yards to set a franchise record for receiving yards in a season (a record currently held by Steve Largent who tallied 1287-yards back in 1985).
- This game also features an intriguing contest between Rams cornerback, Jalen Ramsey, and Seahawks receiver, D.K. Metcalf -- two of the NFL's finest players in their respective positions.
