Analyst: Rams Should Be Sick Watching Seahawks' Victory
10 Feb
Summary
- Rams' offense outgained Seahawks defense in prior matchups.
- ESPN analyst believes Rams regret not reaching Super Bowl.
- Seahawks' defense stifled Patriots, unlike their defense vs. Rams.
The Los Angeles Rams are reportedly feeling immense regret following the Seattle Seahawks' Super Bowl victory over the New England Patriots. Analyst Peter Schrager suggested that Rams players and coaches, including Matthew Stafford and Sean McVay, should be particularly disheartened. This sentiment stems from the Rams' previous offensive successes against the Seahawks' defense. In Week 16, the Rams amassed 457 yards, and in the NFC Championship game, they gained 581 yards against the same Seahawks unit.
Schrager emphasized that the Rams' strong offensive performances against Seattle make their Super Bowl absence even more painful. The Seahawks' dominant defensive showing against the Patriots, holding them scoreless for much of the game, contrasted sharply with their previous matchups against the Rams. While the Rams' own special teams and defense faltered in the NFC Championship, and they missed a crucial fourth-down opportunity, the offensive potential they demonstrated against Seattle fuels their potential frustration at not competing for the championship.
