Gurley believes Thursday games are 'dumbest thing ever'

The Los Angeles Rams face off against the Seattle Seahawks in this week's edition of Thursday Night Football, much to Todd Gurley's displeasure.

"You know how I feel about Thursday night games," Gurley told reporters following the Rams' loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, according to ESPN's Lindsey Thiry. "I feel like they are the dumbest thing ever."

To make matters worse for Los Angeles and its star running back, the team must travel to Seattle for the matchup.

"For the most part, if you aren't really battling injuries or stuff like that, Thursday is kind of like a day you usually feel good anyway," Gurley said. "(The Seahawks) played on Sunday, as well. ... We just have a quick turnaround to go up to Seattle."

The 25-year-old has never been fond of short-week and international contests. The Rams will travel to London for a Week 8 bout with the Cincinnati Bengals.
