Los Angeles Rams: 5 Bold predictions vs. Seahawks, Week 5
2. Donald comes up with multiple sacks
Despite having four tackles for loss and continuing to be one of the NFL’s most disruptive players, Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald only has one sack through the first four games of the 2019 season. Going up against a Seattle offensive line that, though playing fine, still struggles at time to fully protect Russell Wilson, Donald is going to feast.
Wilson’s ability to move around and escape the pocket has diminished some of the flaws that the offensive line protecting him has. However, the explosiveness and suddenness that Donald plays with can make that less of a factor. No. 99 should feast in a highly favorable matchup and be in Wilson’s face for much of the night before the star quarterback is able to make a play with his legs.
1. Rams survive road shootout for bounce-back win
In Week 4 against the Bucs, the Rams found themselves on the wrong end of a shootout. The defense had no answer for Jameis Winston throwing the ball all over them and Goff’s turnover woes didn’t do them any favors. But with Goff rebounding for a strong effort against a division rival and with the defense playing marginally better, the Rams will get into another shootout but prevail this time around.

As tough as the Seahawks traditionally play the Rams, they don’t have the firepower to match Los Angeles, particularly in the receiving corps. Meanwhile, I have no doubt that Sean McVay will have his troops tightened up last week and the offense will give Seattle far fewer opportunities than they gifted Tampa Bay one week ago.
