The Seahawks will travel to face the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers managed to beat the Rams 31-28 a couple of weeks ago and are trying to get a few wins to take the NFC South. Unlike the Seahawks, their postseason ticket hasn’t been punched. So there might be a bit more from the Panthers this week.
The Los Angeles Rams made a significant change in Week 16, and head coach Sean McVay spoke candidly about the decision.
The 49ers are currently 32nd in the NFL in blitz rate, sending an extra man just 16.6% of the time, according to Pro Football Reference. This is fine as the Houston Texans, Green Bay Packers, Seattle Seahawks, Los Angeles Rams, and Los Angeles Chargers are all in the bottom eight in blitz rate, with the highest being 20.1%
