Overview
- Sam Darnold went 25-for-36 for 346 yards with three touchdown passes and no turnovers in the NFC Championship win.
- Seattle’s defense delivered a decisive red-zone stop as Devon Witherspoon broke up a fourth-down pass with under a minute left.
- A Rams muffed punt in the third quarter set up a Darnold-to-Jake Bobo 17-yard touchdown that helped swing momentum.
- Darnold played through a lingering oblique issue after splitting practice reps with Drew Lock and receiving a pain-killing injection before kickoff.
- The quarterback carried no game-day injury designation after saying he felt “really good” Friday, and Seattle will face the New England Patriots at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.
