Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold completed 25 of his 36 passes for 346 yards and three touchdowns and gained nine rushing yards on three carries in a 31-27 win over the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Championship Game. RB Kenneth Walker III rushed 19 times for 62 yards and a touchdown and caught four passes for 49 yards, and RB George Holani served as the backup, rushing three times for four yards and gaining 27 yards on three receptions. Jaxon Smith-Njigba was Darnold's top target, catching 10 of his 12 targets for 153 yards and a touchdown. WR Cooper Kupp chipped in four receptions for 36 yards and a score, and WR Rashid Shaheed's lone catch went for 51 yards. TE AJ Barner finished with two catches for 13 yards, and WR Jake Bobo hauled in a 17-yard touchdown. LB Ernest Jones led the way for the defense, finishing with a team-high 8 tackles, including six solo stops. DL DeMarcus Lawrence recorded Seattle's only sack, and CB Riq Woolen broke up a pair of passes.
| Footballguys view: Though the Seahawks' vaunted defense was solid, it was the play of Darnold and Smith-Njigba that carried the day. It was fitting that Darnold starred in this one after leading Seattle to a 14-3 record and the NFC's No. 1 seed during the regular season. Still, there were questions about his big-game ability. But now, Darnold has Seattle in the biggest game of all in a season that did not begin with Super Bowl expectations. The Seahawks will face the New England Patriots in a rematch of Super Bowl XLIX. |

Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford completed 22 of his 35 passes for 374 yards and three touchdowns and gained 16 rushing yards on two carries in a 31-27 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game. RB Blake Corum gained a team-high 55 rushing yards on nine carries and caught three passes for 24 yards, and RB Kyren Williams rushed 10 times for 39 yards and had two receptions for 22 yards and a touchdown. WR Puka Nacua was open early and often, catching nine passes for 165 yards and a touchdown, and WR Davante Adams hauled in four passes for 89 yards and a score. TE Colby Parkinson finished with 62 receiving yards on three receptions, and TE Tyler Higbee caught his only target for 12 yards. LB Omar Speights recorded a team-high 11 tackles, including seven solo stops, and S Kamren Kinchens, DE Jared Verse and DL Braden Fiske all recorded a sack.
| Footballguys view: The Rams outgained the Seahawks 479 to 396, but Seattle was 4-of-5 in the red zone and had the only takeaway. The Rams were only 1-for-8 on third down. Stafford, who is a finalist for NFL MVP, threw a 9-yard touchdown to Williams, a 2-yarder to Davante Adams, and a 34-yarder to Nacua, who was named a finalist for the AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year Award. Beyond that, even if head coach Sean McVay loses an assistant or two in the current hiring cycle, the Rams are well-positioned for continued success in 2026. |

Denver Broncos QB Jarrett Stidham went 17-for-31 for 133 yards, one touchdown and one interception against the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship game. Stidham also rushed for 23 yards on four carries but did lose a fumble. RB RJ Harvey rushed for 37 yards on 13 carries and also caught four passes for 22 yards on six targets.

LB Alex Singleton recorded four solo tackles and 12 total tackles during the game, while DT D.J. Jones recorded two solo tackles, six total tackles and one and a half sacks.
| Footballguys view: Stidham completed a 52-yard bomb to Marvin Mims on the game's opening drive and finished the drive with a touchdown pass to Courtland Sutton, but had only one good drive for the rest of the game. That drive ended with a failed fourth and one play inside the Patriots 20, and Wil Lutz missed a 54-yard field goal near the end of the first half and a 46-yard attempt to tie the game was blocked by Leonard Taylor III. Denver's offense just needed to be a little bit better, but their defense was championship quality. |
