The Seattle Seahawks are still riding high after their commanding victory over the New England Patriots in the 2026 Super Bowl. Their playoff journey was nearly flawless, with their only real challenge coming in a nail-biter against the Los Angeles Rams during the NFC Championship Game.
This matchup was the third face-off between these division rivals for the season, with each team having claimed a win in their regular-season encounters. The second game was particularly thrilling, with the Seahawks staging a late-game comeback.
A pivotal moment was a peculiar two-point conversion where quarterback Sam Darnold's pass, initially appearing incomplete, was scooped up in the end zone. After review, it was ruled a backward pass, turning it into a fumble recovery and a successful two-point play for Seattle.
In a lighthearted moment during a recent media session, Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald and Rams coach Sean McVay shared a laugh about that memorable play. McVay dropped by and jokingly asked Macdonald about the two-point conversion, to which Macdonald responded with a grin, “Is that still on the table?” The camaraderie between the two coaches was evident, highlighting the respect they have for each other.
Many fans and analysts have noted that the NFC Championship clash between the Rams and Seahawks felt like the true Super Bowl, given the high caliber of both teams. As we look ahead, the anticipation is building for their regular-season matchups next year, which promise to be just as thrilling.
