"Sam Darnold threw for three touchdowns, the Seahawks' Dark Side defense came up with a critical fourth-down stop, and Seattle advanced to the Super Bowl, beating the Los Angeles Rams 31-27 in an electrifying NFC championship game on Sunday. Led by second-year coach Mike Macdonald and Darnold an eight-year veteran playing for his fifth team the Seahawks (16-3) reached the fourth Super Bowl in franchise history and first in 11 years."
"Darnold, who flopped in his playoff debut last season with the Minnesota Vikings, played through an oblique injury and completed 25 of 36 passes for 346 yards with no turnovers. Jaxon Smith-Njigba had 153 yards receiving the second-most in a playoff game in franchise history and a touchdown on 10 catches. It's amazing, Darnold said. To be able to do it with these guys in this locker room, though, with this coaching staff, that's why it means the world to me."
