The stage is set for one of the most anticipated rematches in NFL history as the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots secured their places in Super Bowl 60 following two heart-stopping championship games.
Seahawks Edge Rams in NFC Thriller
In a pulsating NFC Championship game, the Seattle Seahawks booked their fourth Super Bowl appearance by narrowly defeating the Los Angeles Rams 31-27. The contest was a quarterback duel for the ages, with Seahawks signal-caller Sam Darnold throwing three touchdown passes to match the tally of Rams veteran Matthew Stafford.
The game reached a fever pitch in the final moments as the Rams, driving for a potential winning score, were unable to get a final play off before time expired, sealing the Seahawks' dramatic victory. This triumph marks a significant milestone for the franchise as they return to the sport's biggest stage.
Patriots Triumph in Snowy AFC Battle
Meanwhile, in treacherous snowy conditions, the New England Patriots displayed remarkable resilience to overcome the Denver Broncos 10-7 in the AFC Championship. Patriots quarterback Drake Maye scored a crucial touchdown that proved decisive in the low-scoring affair.
The Broncos had a late opportunity to level the scores, but a tipped field goal attempt in the closing stages secured the Patriots' hard-fought victory and their ticket to the Super Bowl. This win underscores New England's ability to triumph in adverse conditions against formidable opposition.
