As the regular season enters its final three weeks, the best race might reside in the NFC West.
The Los Angeles Rams enter Week 16 holding the No. 1 seed in the NFC, but they would be out of first place in their division with a loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night.
The Seahawks narrowly escaped the Philip Rivers-led Indianapolis Colts in Week 15, again showcasing a terrific defense but an inconsistent offense. The NFC West cannot be won on Thursday night, but the winner will be in the driver's seat with two games remaining and 12 wins in the standings.
Seattle is looking to avenge a November loss to the Rams in which Sam Darnold threw four interceptions but the Seahawks still had a legitimate chance to win the game in the final minutes. The Seahawks offense's margin for error is quite large thanks to a stellar defense, but that margin shrinks against a balanced team such as the Rams.
Here’s everything you need to know about Thursday Night Football in Week 16, including TV and live stream details to watch the game.
