The Los Angeles Rams will look to end their 2025 regular season on a positive note before the playoffs begin. The Rams, sitting at 11-5, clinched a postseason berth weeks ago but will only be the No. 5 or No. 6 seed after wins by the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers.
The team’s Week 18 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals offers an intriguing situation. Arizona isn’t playing for anything except pride, while the Rams are only playing for seeding and might prefer to rest some injured starters before or throughout the game.
