The Seahawks wrapped up their 2024 season with a 30-25 win over the Rams, a win that left them in a tie for first place in the division, with the Rams winning the NFC West thanks to the fifth tiebreaker, strength of victory. Despite missing out on the playoffs, the Seahawks feel like the 2024 season, their first under head coach Mike Macdonald, is "the beginning of something really special."
In addition to that final score, here are 12 numbers that help tell the story of Sunday's win in Los Angeles.
