Know before you go: Rams vs. Seattle Seahawks at SoFi Stadium

The Los Angeles Rams will host the Seattle Seahawks for their Week 11 'Salute to Service' matchup, presented by QuidelOrtho, on Sunday, November 19 at 1:25 p.m. PT. Salute to Service is the NFL's year-round commitment to honor, empower, and connect with our nation's service members, veterans, and their families. Since 2011, the NFL's Salute to Service efforts have raised more than $66 million for the league's military nonprofit partners.

In its second year as a gameday sponsor, QuidelOrtho is proud to be the official At-Home COVID test of the Los Angeles Rams.

Leading up to the Rams-Seahawks matchup, the team hosted a series of military appreciation efforts including organizing a Merging Vets & Players event at Topgolf, joining local students to decorate holiday cards for service members in partnership with American Red Cross' Holiday for Heroes, supporting US Vets in Inglewood with a furniture donation in partnership with Living Spaces, surprising a veteran as a 2023 Rams pLAymaker and hosting a youth football clinic in partnership with National Military Family Association and The Salvation Army.

The Rams' gameday at SoFi Stadium will feature on-field and in-stadium moments that honor service members, veterans and their families. Visit www.therams.com/gameday for gameday information. Below you will find highlights of Sunday's game.
