Rams Analysis: Matthew Stafford had his first disappointing game last week. Still, he passed for 280 yards, two touchdowns, one interception, and ran six times for 21 yards. Thus, it was hardly a complete dud. For the year, according to Pro-Football-Reference, he ranks fourth in passing yards per game (305.5), second in adjusted net yards per pass attempt (9.59 ANY/A), and first in touchdown passes (14). As a result, he's a superb selection on this single-game slate, as his play has been elite, and the Seahawks are a dreadful pass defense. According to Football Outsiders, Seattle ranks 27th in pass defense Defense-adjusted Value Over Average (DVOA).
