Seahawks reach Super Bowl LX after 31-27 NFC title win over Rams

The Seattle Seahawks are heading to Super Bowl LX against the New England Patriots after a 31-27 victory over the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday, Cbssports reported. It is Seattle's first Super Bowl appearance since the 2014 season, when the team was led by Pete Carroll, the "Legion of Boom," Russell Wilson and Marshawn Lynch.

Seattle finished the season with the NFL's No. 1 scoring defense, allowing 17.2 points per game, and features All-Pro-caliber players at all three levels: second-team All-Pro defensive tackle Leonard Williams, Pro Bowl edge rusher DeMarcus Lawrence, second-team All-Pro linebacker Ernest Jones IV and second-team All-Pro cornerback Devon Witherspoon.

Coach Mike Macdonald's unit used five or more defensive backs on 92.6% of snaps, relied on its nickel package (which allowed 4.7 yards per play) and saw rookie safety Nick Emmanwori lead all NFL defensive backs with 18 quarterback pressures in 2025. On offense, Jaxon Smith-Njigba led the NFL with 1,793 receiving yards in 2025 and posted 153 yards and a touchdown on 10 catches in the NFC title game, catching at least one target against six different Rams defenders.
