It’s official: The Los Angeles Rams are one win away from the Super Bowl.
The Rams punched their ticket to the NFC Championship on Sunday night in an overtime thriller and one of the best games in a truly entertaining NFL postseason. Their 20-17 walk-off field goal win over the Bears, on the road, has the Rams preparing for an NFC West rematch against the top-seeded Seahawks.
Updated 2026 NFL playoff bracket
The Seahawks advanced to the NFC Championship after an absolute beatdown of the third NFC West team that made the playoffs this season, the San Francisco 49ers. The Seahawks scored first on a pick-six, which pretty much set the tone for the rest of the 41-6 beatdown.
In the AFC, the Patriots beat the Texans to advance to the conference championship, and the Broncos beat the Bills, but lost Bo Nix to a postseason-ending ankle injury in the process. Jarrett Stidham will start when these two teams face each other in Denver next week for the AFC Championship.
