Jaxon Smith-Njigba and the Seattle Seahawks will visit Kyren Williams and the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET, in a battle featuring a pair of the brightest stars in the league

The Seattle Seahawks were eliminated from playoff contention in Week 17. When the Washington Commanders beat the Atlanta Falcons, the Los Angeles Rams clinched the NFC West. Now, Seattle faces Los Angeles in Week 18 with very little on the line.

The Seahawks won't shy away from helping players hit individual records on Sunday, as long as those measures fit with the team's goal of winning in Los Angeles.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba had led the Seattle Seahawks in receiving for a seventh straight game, catching 10 passes for 83 yards in their home loss to the Green Bay Packers on Dec. 15. The performance put him on the doorstep of 1,000 yards for the campaign and led to a question about his breakout second season.

The Los Angeles Rams are set to rest key players when they host the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday after winning the NFC West last week.
