AFC and NFC Championship Recaps
- Rams vs. Seahawks: The Seattle Seahawks claimed victory over the Los Angeles Rams with a score of 31-27. Despite a strong performance, which included 27 points and 479 yards from the Rams’ offense, a crucial special teams mistake proved costly. A muffed punt in the third quarter allowed Seattle to seize the lead.
