Seahawks' Grey Zabel on archrivals: 'I hate the Rams, but I love the Rams because it's mano a mano'

Seattle Seahawks rookie offensive lineman Grey Zabel, a 2025 first-round pick, faced the Los Angeles Rams three times during Seattle's Super Bowl-winning season, with all three games decided by a combined total of just seven points. The Rams won a Week 11 matchup 21-19, but the Seahawks responded with a 38-37 overtime win in Week 16 before defeating Los Angeles 31-27 in the NFC Championship Game. Zabel, speaking on the Green Light with Chris Long podcast, described the intense rivalry as 'mano a mano, best on best,' saying he both hates and respects the Rams.
