The NFC Championship Game at Lumen Field pairs the top‑seeded Seattle Seahawks against a Los Angeles Rams team that has survived two tight playoff wins to reach within one step of Super Bowl LX. Seattle rides in off a dominant 41-6 victory over San Francisco 49ers, while Los Angeles advanced with a 20-17 overtime win in Chicago.
Both teams released their final injury reports on Friday: the Rams cleared all listed players, while Seattle ruled out one defender, listed one lineman as doubtful, and carried two others as questionable.

The Seahawks earned the NFC’s No. 1 seed and backed it up with a one‑sided 41-6 win over the 49ers, highlighted by Kenneth Walker III’s 116 rushing yards and three touchdowns, and an offense led effectively by Sam Darnold. The Seahawks now lean on that balanced attack plus a home‑field environment at Lumen Field that is among the loudest in the league.
The Rams arrive as the No. 5 seed after overtime and one‑score wins, with Matthew Stafford approaching 600 playoff passing yards this postseason and distributing to Adams and Puka Nacua. Both defenses have been opportunistic, and neither offense has reported major injury setbacks to its primary playmakers, aside from Charbonnet being out for Seattle.
Expect early‑down rushing efficiency, red‑zone execution, and turnover margin to be decisive in a matchup where crowd noise and composure in late‑game situations will determine who advances to Super Bowl LX.
