First versus second clashes usually have a lot of influence on the divisional standings, but that won't be the case when the top two teams in the NFC West meet up on Sunday.
Week 10 sees the 8-1 LA Rams play host to the 4-4 Seattle Seahawks, and while it's technically a match-up pitting first versus second, it won't exactly carry the same weight as a regular divisional battle. The Rams have catapulted to the best record in the entire NFL (tied with AFC West-leading Kansas City) and left the rest of their division in the dust. As such, the Seahawks won't be approaching Sunday's contest as a chance to catch the Rams, but rather to improve their own record and playoff chances in a middling campaign.
Seattle looks to get back into the win column after dropping a 25-17 result to LA's other team, the Chargers, in Week 9. Russell Wilson threw 26-for-39 and had 235 passing yards and two touchdown passes with one interception in the defeat.
Surprisingly, the Rams are also coming off a loss. After winning the first eight games of the season, LA was humbled 45-35 by the New Orleans Saints in a game that provided a blueprint to taking down an otherwise dominant Rams team.
Despite the loss, LA's Jared Goff racked up 391 yards on 28-of-40 passing, with three touchdowns and one interception.
