"Los Angeles: A solid 12-5 record, losing only one game by more than three points (33-26 at Philadelphia in Week 3). A first-round playoff win in a shootout against Carolina, 34-31. Then last week's wild game against Chicago in which the defense let up just long enough to allow Caleb Williams to complete a miraculous game-tying pass, only to tighten the screws and win in overtime."
"Seattle: Opened with a 17-13 loss to San Francisco and lost a 38-35 decision to Tampa Bay in Week 5. That was their last home loss on the way to a 14-3 record, closing with a revenge win against the 49ers and opening the playoffs with a 41-6 demolition of the same team. The Seahawks' only other loss? Week 11 at Los Angeles, 21-19."
The teams have taken the field and the PA announcer is loud as kickoff approaches. Los Angeles finished 12-5, losing only one game by more than three points, and advanced with a first-round shootout win over Carolina and an overtime victory over Chicago after a late comeback. Seattle went 14-3, allowed the fewest points in the league, rebounded from early losses, closed with a revenge win and opened the playoffs with a 41-6 demolition. Seattle rallied from 16 points down in Week 16 and converted a decisive two-point overtime try. The sun is out in Seattle and conditions will not affect play. The AFC contest featured glaring Broncos coaching blunders in a snow game, including pass-heavy playcalling and a failure to contain Drake Maye.
