The Rams–Seahawks rivalry is an American football rivalry between the National Football League (NFL)'s Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks. While the teams first met in 1976, the rivalry did not develop until the early 2000s, specifically around 2002, when the Seahawks were placed with the Rams in the NFC West, allowing for two annual meetings between the teams. Geography somewhat comes into play as both Los Angeles and Seattle are approximately 1,100 miles apart along Interstate 5 connected along the western seaboard of the continental United States. Both teams initially found success at varying times until the Rams' relocation back to Los Angeles in 2016, amplifying the hostility of the rivalry as both teams regularly fought for playoff success. With both teams winning a Super Bowl between 2013 and 2021, both teams usually escalated their bi-annual regular season matchups into a bitter fight for control of the division. The Seahawks lead the series 27–26. The teams have met twice in the playoffs, two Rams wins in the 2004 NFC Wild Card Round and the 2020 NFC Wild Card Round.
The Broncos–Seahawks rivalry is an American football rivalry in the National Football League (NFL) between the Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks. The teams were AFC West divisional rivals from 1977 until 2001, after which the Seahawks moved to the NFC West. The Broncos lead the series 35–22. The teams have met twice in the playoffs, most notably the 43–8 Seahawks victory in Super Bowl XLVIII.
