Rams' Jared Verse: 'I hate' the Seahawks

Los Angeles Rams pass rusher Jared Verse expressed strong feelings about the Seattle Seahawks, declaring his dislike for the team during an appearance on "The Pivot" podcast. Verse stated his disdain for the Seahawks, emphasizing the intensity of the rivalry by saying he even dislikes their players and staff. This sentiment follows similar comments made ahead of the Rams' Week 16 game against Seattle.

The Seahawks, however, had the upper hand in the 2025 season. They secured a significant overtime victory in Week 16, which helped them clinch the NFC's No. 1 seed, and later defeated the Rams 31-27 in the NFC Championship Game. Verse attributed the playoff loss to the Rams' young defense, admitting that the team, including himself, was unprepared for the Seahawks' resilience. He noted the defense's struggles to adapt when Seattle executed big plays early in the game, leading to a mental shutdown.
