What led to the Seahawks and Patriots advancing to the Super Bowl?

Boomer Esiason 0:00
You had the Seahawks and the Patriots moving on to the Super Bowl. Here's how we got there. Seattle and Los Angeles from the Pacific Northwest. Here was Kevin Harlan. This was the Cooper Cup touchdown to put the Seahawks up 11.
Unknown 0:13
Shotgun snap. Four-man rush. Crumbling pocket throws. Caught five. Diving in. Touchdown, Cup. Touchdown, Seattle. Sam Darnold has just thrown his third touchdown pass tonight. 13 yards to the former Ram.
Boomer Esiason 0:32
And that was Kevin Harlan. Great point. Yes, Sam Darnold's third touchdown pass indeed. 346 yards passing. On the day, Seattle wins 31-27. Now down four, the Rams did have the ball, had a monster drive that got all the way down to the six-yard line. But on third down, incomplete. So then on fourth down, this is how it sounded in Seattle with Seahawks Radio.
Unknown 0:54
Fourth down and four for the Rams. Williams in the backfield.

How did Sam Darnold perform in the recent game?

Unknown 0:59
Adams to the left. Hukunukuwa slots on the right side. Stafford. Shotgun snap. Pump fake. Has time. Looks. Fires to the end zone.
Boomer Esiason 1:09
Almost intercepted by Witherspoon. He jumps in front of the intended receiver. And it was incomplete. Turned him over on downs, and 31-27 would be the final score as Seattle wins the NFC Championship game in their own building. We mentioned Darnold's numbers, Jackson, Smith, and Jigba. Ten catches, 153, and a touchdown. Not only did Cooper Cupps score, he had Jake Bobo come up with a touchdown catch in this game as well, and Kenneth Walker ran for a score. Here was on Fox after the game. This was Darnold reacting to the win.
Sam Darnold 1:38
What does the moment mean? You're going to the Super Bowl. It's amazing to be able to do it with these guys in this locker room, with this coaching staff. That's why it means the world to me.
Boomer Esiason 1:47
Yep, amazing, no doubt. And amazing for a veteran, a guy like Demarcus Lawrence, so many years in Dallas, now in Seattle. He was on CBS postgame.
Unknown 1:56
I can see the emotion all over you. You're going to the Super Bowl. Just describe the feeling. I am. I'm truly blessed. Thankful to be a part of this great organization, this great team that we put together, man. The worst can't even explain this moment.
Boomer Esiason 2:11
I always love when they say man to a beautiful woman right there. Man.
Unknown 2:14
Right next to them. You got Julian Love and Leonard Williams going to the Super Bowl along with Sam Donald. Former New York players. That's right.
Boomer Esiason 2:24
Well, Williams played for both teams. That's right. Here was Smith and Jigba on Fox. He was the LFG Brady player of the game.
Unknown 2:33
How do you describe this journey for you and your teammates to get to the Super Bowl after such an incredible season?
Sam Darnold 2:39
That's what it's about. It's about the journey and what we had to come through, ups and downs. You know, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. I love this team. The way we fought, ups and downs. I'm just super proud of this team, super proud to be a Seahawks.
Boomer Esiason 2:53
And then this is also a man of faith. He takes it quite seriously.
Sam Darnold 2:57
I want to give all glory to God. Without him, I'm nothing.
Boomer Esiason 3:01
Not a damn thing, huh? Yeah. Here was on the other side of things. You got the Rams. Their season ends. Matthew Stafford loses despite going for 374 yards, three touchdowns, no interceptions. That's why when a reporter asked Sean McVay this, he didn't quite appreciate it.
Unknown 3:17
Sean, do you expect Matthew Stafford to be back next season?
Sean McVay 3:20
Yeah. I mean, if he still wants to play, what the hell kind of question is that?
Boomer Esiason 3:25
I took a left turn there. But then one of the reporters stepped in and said, we get it, fine, but does he want to play?
Sean McVay 3:34
You have to ask him. We've been totally present. I know that if he wants to, he's still playing at a pretty damn good clip. I mean, he's the MVP of the league, and if he's not, you know. I mean, I got respect for everybody else, but this guy played at a level that's just different.
Boomer Esiason 3:47
Just not enough as Seattle moves on to Super Bowl 60 in Santa Clara where they will face the Patriots. I got a few from Patriots radio here.

What does Sam Darnold say about his Super Bowl experience?

Unknown 3:56
We'll start first with the big interception by Jarrett Stidham in the fourth quarter.
Boomer Esiason 4:14
for the 10-7 lead yeah i'm going to this i like the chuck and duck for this which was funny um so here is where they are faced with these i think this was third down where they need to get the first down yardage to basically seal it out of the eye fake by may he's gonna run it to the left he's being chased tries to get outside he does he's got the first down running to the far side
