With the NFC West on the line the Seattle Seahawks and the Los Angeles Rams will square off in a rematch of their Week 10 on Sunday. In that game, the Rams emerged victorious as quarterback Jared Goff completed 27 of 37 passes for 302 yards and did not throw an interception.

In this video we’ll look at three different ways the Rams attacked Seattle’s zone coverages through the air back in Week 10:
