It was another frustrating outing for the Los Angeles Rams who will officially finish the year with a losing record. They won it all last season but are now 3-9 after being handed a 27-23 loss by the Seattle Seahawks.
If there was any good news, it would be the performance of Cam Akers. He’s been struggling to get rolling but had 60 yards and two touchdowns on the game as he did all he could to keep his team in the game. He even gave them a lead in the fourth quarter with his second run but Geno Smith hit DK Metcalf to secure the victory.

It has to be frustrating to be a Chicago Bears fan right now. This team continues to struggle and what’s worse is how they simply cannot get past Aaron Rodgers.
He’s had no issues rubbing it in their faces that he “owns” them and once again, he handed Chicago a loss. And as fate would have it, this one eliminated them from the playoffs.

To be fair, they were never going to make it. But still, having Rodgers be the one to put the final nail in their coffin is adding insult to injury — especially when everyone else in the NFC South has been able to beat the this season.
Chicago even blew a 16-3 lead and wasted a solid effort on the ground as they went for 155 yards with two touchdowns.
