The Rams lost their final game of the regular season 30-25 against the Seahawks with Jimmy Garoppolo starting at quarterback while Matthew Stafford and many other starters rested.

The game came down to a fourth-and-3 at the Seahawks 9 yard line. Garoppolo’s pass targeting receiver Jordan Whittington went incomplete.

The Rams still won the NFC West with a 10-7 record and will play host to the fifth-seeded Vikings as the conference’s fourth seed on Jan. 13 at SoFi Stadium, a “Monday Night Football” game televised by ESPN.

The Rams could have earned the No. 3 seed with a victory, but coach Sean McVay had already planned on resting most of his offensive starters. Tampa Bay, which won the NFC South earlier Sunday with a 27-19 victory, instead will be the No. 3 seed and play host to sixth-seeded Washington next Sunday night.

With Sunday’s victory, Detroit earned the NFC’s top seed and its only first-round playoff bye. Second-seeded Philadelphia plays host to seventh-seeded Green Bay next Sunday.

The Vikings traveled west earlier this season, losing to the Rams 30-20 on a Thursday night game on Oct. 24.

The game came only four days after the Vikings lost for the first time this season, losing at home to the Lions. The Vikings had won nine in a row since that Rams game before losing Sunday night.

The first meeting with the Rams was the first and only time the Vikings defense did not land a sack on the opposing quarterback. The Rams offensive line has given up the sixth-fewest sacks in the NFL this season (31). Stafford threw for 279 yards and four touchdowns with one interception.
