The Rams–Seahawks rivalry is a National Football League (NFL) rivalry between the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks.
The Seahawks joined the NFL as an expansion team in 1976 and were initially placed in the NFC West, where they faced the Rams for the first time. The following season, Seattle was moved to the AFC West, resulting in infrequent meetings between the two teams. As part of the NFL’s 2002 realignment, the Seahawks returned to the NFC West, resulting in two meetings annually with the Rams. From the late 2000s through the early 2010s, the Seahawks held a significant advantage in the series, including a 10-game winning streak, and took a big lead in the overall record. In the late 2010s and 2020s, both teams emerged as regular playoff contenders, leading to more competitive matchups and narrowing the overall series margin to just a few games.
Geography plays a role in the rivalry, as Los Angeles and Seattle are approximately 1,100 miles apart along Interstate 5, connecting the western seaboard of the continental United States. Both teams experienced periods of success at different times, but the rivalry intensified after the Rams’ relocation back to Los Angeles in 2016. Between 2013 and 2021, both teams won a Super Bowl, which often elevated their biannual regular-season matchups into competitive contests with playoff implications.
The Seahawks lead the series, 30–28. The two teams have met three times in the playoffs, with the Rams winning two of three games.
