The Los Angeles Rams had a nice win over the New Orleans Saints, the San Francisco 49ers beat up a New York Giants team, but the NFC West win of the weekend (the Arizona Cardinals will play on Monday Night
Football) has to be the Seattle Seahawks blasting the Washington Commanders.
Full disclosure, I was recovering Sunday night from a weekend wedding (not mine, don’t worry) and so, I missed the game, but I saw the score and I’ve read some news, and Seattle wasn’t close to losing last night, especially once Jayden Daniels was hurt.
Going into the 2025 season, eyes were on the Rams and 49ers, and after last night’s games, more eyes should be on Sam Darnold and the Seahawks.
Lots of NFC West matchups still to be played.
Thank you for checking out our website today, and happy victory Monday to you Rams’ fans!
Seahawks’ Sam Darnold throws 4 first-half TDs in blowout win (espn.com)
“He didn’t know it until someone told him — a no-no in football akin to talking about a no-hitter in baseball.
“Obviously, I can feel the flow of the game and understand that we’re doing really good on offense, but no I didn’t know that I hadn’t thrown an incompletion,” Darnold said after the 38-14 victory. “It was pretty cool. Someone at halftime said to me that I hadn’t thrown an incompletion, so I think he’s to blame for throwing an incompletion in the second half.”
By the time Darnold missed for the first time, the Seahawks were well on their way to a win that improved their record to 6-2 — and boosted their quarterback’s MVP odds in the process.“
NFL Week 9 takeaways: What We Learned from Sunday’s 12 games (nfl.com)
“Stafford, Rams destroy Saints. Matthew Stafford got whatever he wanted against the New Orleans defense, playing point guard with aplomb. Seven players had at least two catches and double-digit yards. The star QB threw four touchdowns and for 281 yards as the Rams ran away from the hapless Saints. Puka Nacua‘s return helped open up the offense early, with Stafford splashing plays all over the field. Nacua would later leave with a chest injury, but could have returned, per head coach Sean McVay. Whether it was short tosses to his tight ends or deep shots to Davante Adams, Stafford was on his game from the start. His rapport with Adams is heating up after some fits and starts early in the season. The star wideout is once again a weapon in the red zone, where he scored two TDs. With the two veterans vibing, the Rams’ red zone offense can be deadly. L.A. marched up and down the field with nary a resistance, gobbling up 30 first downs and 438 yards. With a smothering defense and an offense in a groove, the 6-2 Rams are a force in the NFC.“
Brock Purdy Injury Uncertainty Impacts Rams vs. 49ers Opening Odds for NFL Week 10 (si.com)
“Shanahan admitted that Purdy’s turf toe injury — which he suffered all the way back in Week 1 — is going to impact him for the rest of the season.
He said that Purdy remains week-to-week, and that the team has no intention in rushing him back into action.“
