George Kittle fired up the 49ers with late play
The 49ers took control of the race for the NFC West last night — and by virtue the top seed in the NFC playoffs — but something else happened as well. George Kittle became a cult hero. The 49ers tight end made the play of the day, fending off a facemask and attempt to tackle [more]
Seahawks were on their “high horse” (and got knocked off)
Great news for the Panthers, who lost their fifth straight game yesterday and are still figuring out the mechanics of firing a coach in midseason. They have the Seahawks’ full attention.

Jared Goff: Getting Todd Gurley going “opens up everything”
The Seahawks cut the Rams lead to 12 points on a Quandre Diggs interception return for a touchdown in the third quarter, but they wouldn’t get any closer than that before the night was out. Running back Todd Gurley played a role in that by capping a 95-yard drive with a seven-yard touchdown run that [more]
Rashaad Penny suffered “significant” knee injury Sunday night
The Seahawks lost a game to the Rams on Sunday night and they also lost a running back to a knee injury.

Sunday Night wrap-up: Rams handle the Seahawks 28-12
Sean McVay might start getting people hired as head coaches again. The Rams head coach, whose offense seemed to plateau this year, had his guys back in gear in Sunday’s 28-12 win over the Seahawks. Despite a pair of Jared Goff interceptions, the Rams moved the ball efficiently throughout the night. Goff finished 22-of-31 for [more]
Quandre Diggs’ pick-six gives Seahawks a spark
The Seahawks offense hasn’t done much tonight. So their defense took things into their own hands.

In fitting with the first half, they missed the extra point [more]
Rams getting their offense back in gear
It took them three months, but the Rams appear to have figured out how to move the ball again. They’re up 21-3 at halftime over the Seahawks, looking nothing like the team that has floundered through most of the season. Jared Goff has thrown for 184 yards and two touchdowns in the first half, and [more]
Rams get out to early lead, Rashaad Penny out
The Seahawks got two doses of bad news in the first quarter. First, they lost running back Rashaad Penny. Then they watched the Rams walk into the end zone to take the lead. The Rams went up 7-3 after an impressive drive by an offense that hasn’t been quick-starting this year. After a 33-yard catch-and-run [more]
Ziggy Ansah inactive for the Seahawks, Clowney active
The Seahawks will have defensive end Jadeveon Clowney on the field tonight, but they aren’t fully staffed up front.

49ers hope another full week on the road pays off
For the second time this year, the 49ers have a pair of back-to-back games that start at 1:00 p.m. ET. For the second time this year, the 49ers spent the week between those games away from home. After Week One at Tampa, they stayed in Ohio before beating the Bengals in Cincinnati. After Week Thirteen [more]
“Zero steam” for playoff reseeding despite 2019 NFC East debacle
The NFL has shown, time and again, a resistance to making proactive changes. Instead, most big adjustments come as a reaction to a crisis, like the outcome of the Rams-Saints NFC Championship game. And so it’s no surprise that the NFL will continue to resist sound arguments for changing the postseason seeding process, which guarantees [more]
Neiko Thorpe’s season is over after sports hernia surgery
The Seahawks will finish the season without special teams captain Neiko Thorpe, Pete Carroll told reporters Friday. Thorpe underwent surgery to repair a sports hernia, and he was on his way back from Philadelphia on Friday. Thorpe, a backup cornerback, has missed the past two games with the injury.

Jadeveon Clowney, Ziggy Ansah questionable for Seahawks
The Seahawks got defensive end Jadeveon Clowney back in the lineup for last Monday’s win over the Vikings and he was a participant in practice all week, but the team isn’t ready to rule him in for Sunday’s game against the Rams.
