Avoiding costly turnovers
Seattle is No. 3 in the NFL in takeaways this season, forcing at least one turnover in all but one game. In the Seahawks’ last three games, they’ve taken it away 11 times. Their defense may not be as good as it once was, but it does create turnovers, which in turn gives the offense extra possessions.
The Rams have turned it over 20 times this season, and while Jared Goff has been better about that as of late, it’s still a problem. If Jadeveon Clowney and Ziggy Ansah both play, combining with Jarran Reed and Quinton Jefferson on the interior, Goff is sure to face some pressure.
When under pressure, Goff has a tendency to force the issue. He tries to make plays that aren’t there and skips over priority No. 1: protecting the football. Goff and the Rams can’t give this Seahawks offense added opportunities to score because Wilson will make them pay.
