What happened in the Seahawks vs. Rams game?
We start with the late game in Seattle, Seahawks and Rams. This was one of the longer drives of the game that wound up with no points for the Rams. Shotgun snap. Four-man rush. Stafford winds up, throws back in the end zone. Incomplete. Underneath. Looking for Ferguson. Witherspoon broke it up. On down. Seattle will get a bat. They've held. The Seahawks defense is held. Oh! Yes, they did! Kevin Harlan Westwood won. It's almost as if as he went through that call, he's like, that wasn't enough. Yeah. Let me give you some more at the end. Both offenses for their respective winning teams took care of the ball the last time they had the ball. They kept it away from the opposing quarterback and won the game. And there's nothing more satisfying than doing that.
31-27 the final as Seattle holds off Los Angeles to advance to the Super Bowl. The quarterback numbers for both these guys are ridiculous. Sam Darnold, 346, three touchdowns, no picks. Matthew Stafford, 374, three touchdowns, no picks. But it was Darnold and the Seahawks that are moving on. This is their head coach, Mike McDonald.
You know, you can't talk about the game without talking about our quarterback. I mean, he just shut a lot of people up tonight, so I'm really happy for him.
How did the Seahawks' defense perform in key moments?
Like, who's he shutting up? I think most people are really happy for him. Maybe there's a narrative. Do these people make this stuff up in their brains?
I don't know.
He got beat up pretty good last year when they played so poorly in Detroit. Yeah, I think that went away, though, when he got to this game. But I don't know. I think everybody was like, okay, he won that last game of the regular season. He ends up winning the divisional game. But, I mean, there was no doubt that people were on him. I just think that it was kind of dissipated going into this game. Here was Darnold talking about Cooper Cupp, who had the touchdown catch that turned out to be the difference in the game.
For him to just be able to step up on a day-to-day basis for us, not only in games, but in practice, in the facility, he's a true leader for us. I feel like I say that all the time when I talk about him, but it's true. He's a great leader and someone who's just going to continue to do his job every single day.
Do you think that Cooper Cupp will love scoring that touchdown against his former team? I would think so. I would think so. Then there was Jackson Smith and Jigba, who had a big, big game. We are going to the Super Bowl.
All the people, the doubters, the naysayers, it feels awesome to have a group, have a collective that, like I said, just plays for the guy next to them.
Ten catches, 153 in a touchdown. I'll tell you what.
What were the standout performances from the quarterbacks?
The one thing, the one seed and their favorite in the Super Bowl. Any naysayers now? They were favorite in this game, too. Yeah, I know that. So you've got to believe that Mike Vrabel is going to be playing this whole thing up. We're underdogs. Nobody thinks we can do it. You know, that kind of thing. Obviously, Mike McDonald did a very good job of doing that with his team because every one of them was believing that. On the other side of things, the Rams come up short. Sean McVay goes to the podium. I get nothing, guys. I'm never really short on words, and I am right now. So, it's tough. But this is sports, and you've got to be able to deal with it. Here was a reaction from Stafford.
Obviously, this morning we lost a great football team that we just played. I feel like it was a great effort. Really good football game. Obviously, it didn't come out on top. That's... Tough pill to swallow at the moment.
I was hoping that Puka Nakua went out of bounds on that last play to stop the clock. Just to see a Hail Mary. Yeah, didn't happen. We gave you Stafford's numbers. Nakua, nine catches, 165 in a touchdown. That guy's unbelievable. In the loss, and he says still not enough.
We're passing the ball, and the opportunity for us to make plays is right there, and not being able to come down with any. All those moments kind of flash by you in your head, and... apologize to the defense for putting them in those situations because we felt like we could have executed in order to make that game easier for them.
