Week 15 of the NFL season kicks off on Thursday night, with the Seattle Seahawks playing host to the Los Angeles Rams. Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman is not excited to play in the game, calling Thursday Night Football a "poopfest."

The game will also be the Rams' first under interim head coach John Fassel, who has taken over after Jeff Fisher was fired.

• Michigan's Jim Harbaugh also denied interest in the Rams job, telling his players that the rumors linking him to L.A. are "lies made up by our enemies," reports ESPN's Dan Murphy.

• The Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to fire head coach Gus Bradley at the end of the season, and have New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels as a candidate to replace him, reports Sam Farmer of the Los Angeles Times.
