The Seattle Seahawks are headed to the Super Bowl following their 31-27 victory over the Los Angeles Rams.
The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Los Angeles Rams and book their trip to Super Bowl LX. It was an incredibly competitive game defined by big plays and costly mistakes. A Jaxon Smith-Njigba touchdown with only 20 seconds left in the 2nd quarter gave the Seahawks the lead going into halftime. The first drive of the 3rd quarter ended with a Rams muffed punt that quickly turned into a Jake Bobo receiving touchdown and the Seahawks never looked back.
The Rams nearly mounted a comeback due to a back-breaking taunting penalty on Tariq Woolen, turning what would have been a 4th-and-12 punt, into a 34-yard Puka Nacua touchdown. Those would be the final points scored in the game. There were many games this season where the Seattle defense dominated to the point where the offense wasn’t needed, but with the NFC title on the line, it was Sam Darnold who stepped up, throwing for 346 yards and 3 touchdowns, and most importantly, 0 interceptions.
The Seahawks are set to face the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara.
