■ Rams notes: The Rams are making their third playoff appearance in four years under coach Sean Mcvay. They’re 2-2 in that postseason stretch, winning the NFC title two years ago and missing the playoffs last year. … Mcvay doesn’t plan to announce his starting quarterbac­k before the opening series. Jared Goff missed last week’s game after thumb surgery, but he is hoping to play. … Smaller, speedier backup John Wolford had a solid all-around game while leading the Rams to a win over Arizona. Although the Rams didn’t score an offensive TD, he became the first quarterbac­k in NFL history to rush for 50 yards and pass for 200 yards in his NFL debut. … The Rams’ defense finished No. 1 in the NFL in total yards allowed, yards passing allowed, passing touchdowns allowed, first downs allowed and points allowed. … DT Aaron Donald finished tied for second in the NFL with

13 ½ sacks. He has sacked Wilson 13 times, more than any other quarterbac­k.

Seahawks notes: Seahawks are 17-17 all-time in the postseason but are 12-2 at home and have won 10 straight home playoff games. … This will be Seattle’s first home playoff game since January 2017 when it beat Detroit in the wild-card round before losing the following week at Atlanta. … The Seahawks are in the playoffs for the 14th time in the past 18 seasons, but have not advanced past the second weekend of the playoffs since their last Super Bowl appearance in February 2015. … In his two games against the Rams in the regular season, Wilson was sacked 11 times, threw two intercepti­ons and had a combined passer rating of 74.1. … Wilson is 8-10 in his career against the Rams, the only team in the league he has a losing record against.
