The Los Angeles Rams are taking on the Seattle Seahawks in Seattle, and historically (at least according to the information I am sharing below), it is the home and favored team who wins the NFC Championship Game more often than not.
Will history have any impact on this Sunday’s contest? Not exactly, but it’s still interesting and it should be no surprise that the Rams have their work cut out for them as they get ready to take on one of the best teams in the NFL.
The Seahawks looked great as they dismantled the San Francisco 49ers as the 49ers continued to lose stars to injury, but find ways to win, but in the end, the injuries caught up with SF and their season is done. Kyle Shanahan worked magic as he navigated this season, so all credit to the potential Coach of the Year candidate.
The Rams have somehow found a way to win their last two playoff games, but it’s only going to be tougher in Seattle for L.A.
Hopefully everyone had a nice victory Monday, enjoy your Tuesday and thank you for checking out Turf Show Times!

How Veteran Prowess Reigned Supreme Between Rams’ Stafford, Williams (si.com)
“The Los Angeles Rams have been a part of two incredibly thrilling postseason games in these playoffs. The first was Matthew Stafford’s game-winning drive and touchdown pass to Colby Parkinson against the Carolina Panthers in the wild-card round. This week, it was Stafford’s veteran savviness that led them to an overtime win in another thriller, this time against the Chicago Bears, 20-17.
The Rams are now heading to the NFC Championship for the first time in four years, where they will travel up the west coast to face the Seattle Seahawks in their third matchup of the season in a game that will decide the NFC’s representative in Super Bowl LX. Last night, in a battle between the young gun and the veteran star in the midst of an MVP season, it was the latter who reigned supreme in the end.“
