Changing attention to this game – the sun is out in Seattle. The broadcasters are bundled up against the cold, but the conditions absolutely won’t affect the players here.
There will be a lot of pointed questions for the Broncos coaching staff after that one. With a backup QB and whiteout conditions, they insisted on throwing the ball instead of running it against a snowblind defense. And then they utterly failed to contain Drake Maye on the last meaningful play, letting him roam free to pick up a game-clinching first down.
The NFC championship game could be the greatest NFL playoff matchup of all time
When the Seattle Seahawks and the Los Angeles Rams meet for the NFC championship Sunday night, it will be — by at least one measure — the best NFL showdown of nearly the last five decades.
“By DVOA, the NFC Championship Game is essentially the best NFL matchup of the last 47 years, and by a lot,” Aaron Schatz, the chief analytics officer of FTN Fantasy, posted on X in the lead-up to the game.
DVOA, for those unfamiliar, stands for “Defense-adjusted Value Over Average.” What is measures is a “team’s efficiency by comparing success on every single play to a league average based on situation and opponent.” More simply put, it’s a measure of how good a team is, weighted for situation and opposing team.

RENTON, Wash. — Sam Darnold got sacked, then got up gingerly.
It was late in the first quarter of Seattle's divisional round matchup against the San Francisco 49ers last Saturday at Lumen Field, and it might have been the only tense moment the Seahawks experienced in a 41-6 win that got them into Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Los Angeles Rams (6:30 p.m. ET, Fox).
