Leonard Williams Sends Warning to Rams: ‘We’re Not Just Playing, We’re Dominating — Get Ready for a War!’
As the Seattle Seahawks prepare for their Week 11 clash against the Los Angeles Rams, defensive lineman Leonard Williams has issued a bold and unflinching statement that the Rams are about to face one of the toughest defensive fronts in the NFL. With the stakes high in this NFC West showdown, Williams made it clear that when the Seahawks take the field, they won’t just be playing — they’ll be dominating.
This confident and fiery message from Williams sets the stage for what promises to be a physical and intense battle. The Seahawks’ defensive line, already known for its tenacity and ability to disrupt opposing offenses, is ready to take things to the next level. With the Rams’ high-powered offense, led by veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford, coming into town, the pressure is on the Seahawks to impose their will and control the game from the start.
Dominating the Line of Scrimmage
For Williams, it’s all about the battle in the trenches. The defensive line has been a cornerstone of the Seahawks’ defense, and Williams is at the heart of it. With his ability to collapse the pocket, disrupt the run, and create havoc in the backfield, Williams is ready to prove that the Rams won’t be able to dictate the pace of the game.
“The Rams have a good offense, but we know what we’re capable of,” Williams continued. “We’ve been preparing for this moment, and we’re ready to bring it. Our defensive line is built to dominate, and we’re going to make sure they feel every single snap.”
Williams’ words are not just talk — they’re a reflection of the Seahawks’ mentality heading into this critical matchup. The Seahawks’ defensive front is aggressive, physical, and relentless, and they’re determined to make life difficult for Stafford and the Rams’ skill players. By setting the tone early and establishing control of the line of scrimmage, the Seahawks believe they can limit the Rams’ offensive production and give their team the best chance to win.
The Importance of the Game
This game is more than just a regular-season contest — it’s a statement game for both teams. The Rams and Seahawks are currently tied for the lead in the NFC West, and a victory here would give the winner a crucial advantage in the division race. With the stakes this high, Williams’ message is clear: the Seahawks are ready to fight for the top spot in the division, and they’ll do whatever it takes to get there.
For Williams, this game is also a chance to prove that the Seahawks’ defense can dominate against elite competition. The Rams’ offense, while potent, has shown vulnerabilities this season. By applying constant pressure on Stafford, forcing him into uncomfortable situations, and shutting down the run game, the Seahawks believe they can neutralize the Rams’ attack and give their offense a chance to shine.
Setting the Tone
Williams’ confidence and leadership are contagious. His words have set the tone for the entire defensive unit, and the Seahawks are ready to deliver on the promise of dominating the Rams. With a ferocious defensive line and a game plan to impose their will, the Seahawks are prepared for the battle ahead.
“This is our time,” Williams said. “We’ve worked too hard to let this opportunity slip away. We’re going to make sure the Rams know they’re in for a war, and when the game’s over, there won’t be any doubt who controlled it.”
As the Seahawks head into this crucial matchup, they’re fired up and ready to show the NFL that they’re not just contenders — they’re a team that dominates. The Rams will have to bring their best if they want to compete with the intensity and power of the Seahawks' defensive line.
T.J. Hockenson Sends Blunt Words to Vikings Before Bears Game
The Minnesota Vikings‘ offense has struggled recently, as the group has failed to score 20 points or more in two of its last three games. Moreover, it’s no surprise that both games in which the Vikings scored less than 20 points ended in losses.
Minnesota need its offense to wake up, as its inability to put points on the board cost it in the Week 10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The Vikings’ defense didn’t allow a touchdown in the first half, creating the perfect situation for the offense to pull away. However, that didn’t happen.
Eventually, Lamar Jackson and Co. found the end zone and would come out on top. Ahead of the Week 11 game against the Chicago Bears, T.J. Hockenson was asked about how the Vikings’ offense can be more effective, especially on third down.
“I think you know getting the ball in the hands of our playmakers and letting us go and doing our thing,” Hockenson told reporters on November 13. “I think that’s what we’ve talked about, just trying to stay efficient on first and second down and be in a manageable third down. That’s a big part of it.
“[In Week 10] we kind of shot ourselves in the foot a little bit on early downs, and now you’re in third and long, third and unmanageable. A key factor is being efficient on first and second down, then getting into a third-and-manageable situation to make it easier.
“Once you get outside of third and six or third and seven, it’s tough on an offense to try to go get another 10-plus yards and make that third down. So, it’s just us being efficient on offense and all 11 doing our jobs.”
Bears Are Still Concerned About the Vikings’ Justin Jefferson
Justin Jefferson has struggled at various points during the 2025 NFL season, with the Week 10 loss to the Ravens being a notable low point. Jefferson only recorded 37 yards on four catches, but despite this production, the Bears’ defensive coordinator, Dennis Allen, isn’t taking the wideout lightly, even with his struggles.
“I think he’s got a great feel for the game,” Allen said about Jefferson while speaking to reporters on November 13. “He does a great job of understanding how to set up his routes to create separation. And I think more than anything else, this guy is one of the more competitive players we’ll go against. That’s what really makes great players great, no matter the position. He expects that every ball thrown his way is one he’s going to go make a play on.”
The Vikings Offense Needs to Step Up
The Vikings face a tough three-game stretch, including two road matchups against the Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks. A strong performance from Jefferson at home against Chicago is crucial to keeping Minnesota’s playoff hopes alive.
NBC Sports’ NFL insider Mike Florio notes that these next three games could ultimately decide the team’s postseason fate.
“Their backs are kind of against the wall,” Florio told NBC Sports NFL analyst Chris Simms on the November 13 edition of “Chris Simms Unbuttoned.” “They need to win two of the next three. They’ve got the Bears, at the Packers, at the Seahawks. If they don’t win two of the next three, they’re done.”
