SEATTLE, Wa. () — The Los Angeles Rams will take on the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Championship game on Sunday, with another trip to the Super Bowl on the line.
It’s the third time the division rivals will face each other this season. The Rams took the first meeting of the season in November, led by a defense that intercepted Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold four times in the 21-19 victory.
Seattle got the better of Los Angeles in the second game in December with a fourth-quarter comeback and became the first NFL team to win on an overtime 2-point conversion.
Despite the cold temperatures, things are heating up ahead of the highly-anticipated game set for 3:30 p.m. at Lumen Field.
Rams fans may be outnumbered in Seattle, but they are certainly not out-matched. 7’s Tony Cabrera caught up with the fans who made the trip up.
Coaching clash
One day after his 40th birthday, Rams coach Sean McVay will attempt to win the NFC title for the third time with the Rams. The youngest coach to win a Super Bowl was profoundly frustrated after his team blew that late 16-point lead in Seattle last month, but he doesn’t want his players thinking too much about these teams’ two recent thrillers during their preparations for the rubber match.
“You want to be careful not to chase ghosts,” McVay said. “It is about good execution and good fundamentals. They’re a great team and they’re great in all three phases. We’d like to think when we’re humming and we’re at our best, we’re pretty good too.”
The offensive wizard reached the Super Bowl in his second season with the Rams. Mike Macdonald would match that achievement Sunday if the defensive guru can lead the Seahawks to the franchise’s fourth Super Bowl.
Kupp’s reunion
The Rams will be facing their Super Bowl 56 MVP on Sunday when Cooper Kupp squares off against his former team again. Kupp won the 2021 AP Offensive Player of the Year award and the receiving triple crown during that championship season in his eight prolific years with the Rams.
Kupp had the second-fewest receiving yards of his career for Seattle this season, yet he stayed healthy nearly all year after injury struggles contributed to his release by the Rams last year and he led Seattle with five catches for 60 yards last weekend in its playoff win over the San Francisco 49ers.
“It’s crazy to think (of) all of the things he’s accomplished, and the way he comes to work and the way he leads,” said Seahawks practice squad running back Cam Akers, who was Kupp’s teammate on the Rams for a little over three seasons.
