The Rams move back to Los Angeles — what does it mean for the Seahawks
The Rams move back to Los Angeles — what does it mean for the Seahawks
 |
The Seahawks were an annual visitor to the Coliseum themselves when the Raiders played there from 1982-94.
Maybe the two most memorable games the Seahawks played at the Coliseum were the 1984 AFC Championship game, won by the Raiders, 30-14, and the regular-season finale in 1988 when a 43-37 Seattle clinched the team’s first AFC West title.

That the Rams are moving and the Chargers may move — but the Raiders are for now staying put — would also seem to mean no changes to the lineups of any divisions.
There had been a thought that if both the Chargers and Raiders moved to Los Angeles that one of the teams would have to move to the NFC West and possibly mean a team such as the Seahawks moving back to the AFC West. But there doesn’t appear to be any need for that now though the futures of the Chargers and Raiders remain uncertain.
And yes, this also means one less regular 10 a.m. start for the Seahawks.
While that start time has been an issue for the Seahawks through the years, though, it didn’t always bother the Seahawks in St. Louis.
Seattle went 7-7 against the Rams in St. Louis after losing the first three from 2002-04 after the Seahawks moved into the NFC West and began playing in St. Louis every season. Seattle won five straight there from 2005-09. The Seahawks, though, lost the last two, including a 34-31 overtime loss on opening day this season that looms as apparently the last game Seattle could ever play in St. Louis.
