NFL geophysicists are still assessing damage from the Rams' 42-7 win over the Seahawks at the Clink Sunday. So far no part of the NFC West has fallen into the sea, but power lines seem down in Seattle, and fractures are visible.

There's one right here.

Although crushed and embarrassed last Sunday by the Los Angeles Rams 42-7, all but knocking Seattle (8-6) out of the NFC playoffs, the Seahawks Tuesday placed four players on the NFC Pro Bowl team: QB Russell Wilson, TE Jimmy Graham, LB Bobby Wagner and FS Earl Thomas.

Pro Bowl players are determined by a vote of fans, players and coaches, all counting 33+ percent. The 2018 Pro Bowl is Jan. 28 in Orlando.

The Seahawks have made five consecutive trips to the playoffs, winning at least one game, and taken the NFC West title three of the past four seasons. But all of that seems like fading history in the wake of developments Sunday at CenturyLink Field, where the Los Angeles Rams, 4-12 one year ago, obliterated the locals in a game that was effectively over midway through the second quarter.

In the first nine minutes, the game was over.

The Rams needed just 91 scrimmage yards and 13 plays to go up 13-0. Given the ruthless pass rush, and a Los Angeles offense never needing to risk throwing downfield because RB Todd Gurley was free to party on a defense missing LB K.J. Wright and operating with a limited LB Bobby Wagner, no comeback was possible.

For a town that has had four mayors in one year, we should be a little used to institutional shock. But watching the Seahawks in two weeks go from darlings to derelicts is mind-bending. When such a trajectory happens to meteors, they burn up in the atmosphere.

Maybe we need another explanation from Neil deGrasse Tyson, this one about the physics of spontaneous immolation. The Galilean Dissolution?

The Los Angeles Rams turned one of the biggest, most hyped regular-season contests in CenturyLink history into an overwhelming rout of the Seahawks Sunday.

A case can be made that the NFL's offensive and defensive players of the NFL year will face off Sunday at the Clink, armed with jousting lances and astride colossal steeds.

The first time they played the Los Angeles Rams, the Seahawks generated five turnovers.

"You get five turnovers, you’re supposed to win the game," coach Pete Carroll said afterward. They won, 16-10, but only because Rams rookie WR Cooper Kupp, the former Eastern Washington star, dropped the potential game-winning touchdown pass in the end zone with five seconds left.

QB Russell Wilson exercised poor decision-making on two deep throws against Jacksonville Sunday, neither of which had much chance of succeeding. CB Jalen Ramsey picked off the first one in the second quarter on what was essentially a jump ball in the end zone with WR Doug Baldwin, and CB A.J. Bouye collected the other one in the third quarter on another 50-50 ball to Baldwin.

"It was almost like going to a whole other planet, you know?" he said. "Everything was so different. I mean, Alaska's part of the U.S., but it's such a different part of the country, and the fishing industry is so big and booming. It was just wild."
