The Seahawks have won the last seven contests to claim an 11-9 overall series lead. Check out the historical matchup of the last five games.

Last week
The Seahawks allowed the Patriots to rally in the fourth quarter in a 24-21 loss, their sixth straight defeat. ... The Rams gave up 14 points off three turnovers in a 34-10 loss in Arizona.

Keep your eye on ...
A slow start: The Rams have scored 47 points in the first quarter this season, but their opponents have put up 117. Last week they were down by 14 in the first 15 minutes and have fallen behind by as many as 40 points in the first half this season. Seattle averages just 18.2 points per game, making the potential hole more shallow.

The scoreboard: Only Cincinnati has scored fewer points than the Rams this season, but they have a chance to put points on the board through the air against the league's worst pass defense. QB Marc Bulger has put together his best games in the friendly confines of the Edward Jones Dome this season.

Seattle's slew of yardage: Last week, without their starting QB and a patchwork offensive line, the Seahawks gained 339 yards on the Patriots. If Seneca Wallace continues to be efficient and mistake-free, Seattle could get into a rhythm against the third-worst defense in the league.

Did you know?
Rams DE Chris Long is tied for the NFL rookie lead with four sacks. ... Seahawks TE John Carlson leads NFC rookie tight ends with 46 receptions and 525 yards and also leads his team in both categories. He is aiming to join Hall of Famer Steve Largent (1976) as the only rookies in franchise history to lead in both categories.

The real loser of this game is actually the winner. Higher draft pick
