"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. 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."
"Led by second-year coach Mike Macdonald and Darnold an eight-year veteran playing for his fifth team the Seahawks reached their fourth Super Bowl in franchise history, and their first in 11 years. Seattle lost that most recent appearance to New England, their opponent in two weeks at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. With Los Angeles facing fourth-and-four at the Seattle six, coach Sean McVay elected to go for it and Matthew Stafford's pass was broken up in the end zone by Devon Witherspoon."
Sam Darnold threw three touchdown passes and completed 25 of 36 passes for 346 yards with no turnovers while playing through an oblique injury. The Seahawks' defense, highlighted by Devon Witherspoon's broken-up fourth-down pass, secured a late critical stop to preserve a 31-27 victory over the Los Angeles Rams. Matthew Stafford passed for 374 yards and three touchdowns, but the Rams were hurt by key mistakes including a muffed punt by Xavier Smith. Jaxon Smith-Njigba had 153 receiving yards and a touchdown, and Jake Bobo caught a 17-yard score following the Rams' error. Seattle advances to the Super Bowl under second-year coach Mike Macdonald.
