WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Rams are less than 24 hours away from kickoff in what will undoubtedly be one of the biggest games of the 2025 NFL season.
Los Angeles has a chance to take control of the NFC West and inch closer to securing the No. 1 and the bye in the first round of the playoffs. This is the moment in the season where everyone needs to be locked in. There's just one little hiccup, they won't get to Seattle when they expected to.
According to Adam Schefter, the Los Angeles Rams plane has been "significantly delayed" due to an equipment issue and will push back their takeoff time.

In a game with major playoff implications on the line, any little mishap, such as traveling conflicts, can knock a team off balance and cause disruptions in preparation. With the Rams likely to be without star wide receiver Devante Adams, this will be just another hurdle for Los Angeles to overcome.
UPDATE: As of this moment, the Rams players and coaches will travel on one plane and staff members will travel on another.
The Rams’ new game plan for their trip to Seattle: Players and coaches now will leave on a 737 scheduled at 5:25 pm PT. The remainder of the Rams’ staff will leave later on another plane. https://t.co/bCkb6TY5RV
