In a thrilling divisional round matchup, the Los Angeles Rams emerged victorious over the Seattle Seahawks with a decisive 30-20 victory. The Rams, led by a dominant performance from their defense, controlled the game from start to finish, securing their spot in the NFC Championship Game.
The Rams' defense was relentless, holding the Seahawks to just 20 points and forcing three turnovers. Linebacker Bobby Wagner led the charge with a game-high 10 tackles and two sacks, while cornerback Jalen Ramsey intercepted a key pass late in the fourth quarter to seal the victory.
Offensively, the Rams were efficient and opportunistic. Quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 26 of 31 passes for 299 yards and two touchdowns, with wide receiver Cooper Kupp leading the receiving corps with 9 receptions for 118 yards and a touchdown.
The Seahawks, despite a valiant effort, struggled to keep up with the Rams' intensity. Quarterback Geno Smith threw for 253 yards and a touchdown but also had two interceptions, while running back Kenneth Walker III was limited to just 62 yards on 19 carries.
The Rams' victory marks their second consecutive divisional title and sends them to the NFC Championship Game, where they will face the winner of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Dallas Cowboys matchup. Meanwhile, the Seahawks' season ends with a disappointing loss, but they will look to build on their progress in the upcoming year.
