Seattle Seahawks emerged as top NFC team ahead of 2026 season

Expectations for the Rams remain high, especially with head coach Sean McVay leading a talented roster that may include impactful contributions from rookie quarterback Ty Simpson. With training camps approaching, both teams aim to assert their dominance in the league.
