Jared Goff Exceeding Expectations

Jared Goff is ranked 4th in the league in passing yards this season, ahead of Tom Brady, Jimmy Garoppolo, and Russell Wilson. Why isn’t there talk of an MVP for Jared Goff? Because he has only thrown 13 touchdowns; so has Mitch Trubisky and Ryan Fitzpatrick. He is also 4th in the league with 12 interceptions.

Luckily for Jared Goff, the biggest weakness of the Seahawks is the pass defense. They are ranked 28th in total passing yards allowed. If there is one key to beating the Seahawks, Jared Goff is the man for the job.

In their first meeting Goff passed for 395 yards, but only one TD pass. He has to start making teams pay for letting him rack up yards. In the Rams’ five losses, Goff has only thrown three touchdowns and hasn’t thrown more than two touchdowns in a single game this season.

Make Field Goals

The Seahawks have been lucky when it comes to missed field goals. Opponents have missed 8 field goals and 3 extra points against Seattle and they make opponents pay when their kickers shank one. Two of those missed field goals directly resulted in Seahawks wins, one of which was the last second miss against the Rams.

All of the Seahawks games have been close games, they are only outscoring opponents by three points on average. The other 10-2 teams are, on average, blowing teams out; BAL by 15.8, NE by 14.8, SF by 13.8, NO by 4.2

Greg Zuerlein has missed 6 field goals so far this season, that equals the total of misses from the previous two seasons combined. Greg “The Leg” will have to be perfect in order for the Rams to come away with a win.
