The two best teams in the NFL all season meet in the NFC Championship to represent the conference in the Super Bowl.
When the Los Angeles Rams traveled to face the Seattle Seahawks in the middle of December, there were 996 total yards of offense. The Seahawks won 38-37, but trailed 30-14 in the fourth quarter. We may not see that same offensive outburst, but we also won’t see Sean McVay coach as poorly as he did last week.
The Rams looked like they were getting five or six yards per carry whenever they ran the ball, but McVay insisted on passing the ball. It’s almost as if he were preparing for a Seattle team that nobody runs the ball against.
Matthew Stafford has not fared well outdoors late in the season. But he also just threw for 457 yards and three touchdowns against one of the best defenses in the league a month ago in this same spot.
What will we see from Sam Darnold? Will the Rams be able to score enough to make Darnold throw? The 49ers didn’t. After a week where nothing went right for them, I look for the Rams to get right. The worst thing for the Seahawks was what happened to the Rams last week, and that should show itself today.
Rams 27, Seahawks 20.
