The Rams are one victory away from their first Super Bowl appearance since their 2021 championship season and will conduct their final practice Friday at their Woodland Hills facility before Sunday’s NFC championship game in Seattle.
Seattle is seeking its first Super Bowl berth since the 2014 season.
Sunday’s game is a matchup of the NFL’s best offensive and defensive teams. The Rams averaged a league-high 30.5 points per game while the Seahawks allowed a league-low 17.2 points.
The teams split their two regular-season games, with the home team winning both times.
The Rams won 21-19 Nov. 16 at SoFi Stadium with Jason Myers’ 61-yard field goal attempt as time expired falling short.
The Seahawks won 38-37 Dec. 18 at Lumen Field, rallying from a 30-14 deficit with touchdowns and 2-point conversions with 8:03 and 6:23 left in regulation and winning on a touchdown and 2-point conversion in overtime after the Rams had regained a seven-point lead.
Oddsmakers have made the Rams a 2 1/2-point underdog.
ESPN Analytics’ matchup predictor gives Seattle a 53.8% chance of winning, the Rams a 46.2% chance.
A watch party will be held at SoFi Stadium, with gates opening at 2 p.m. for the 3:30 p.m. game. Tickets are $5 for season ticket members and $10 the general public. They will go on sale at 10 a.m. Monday.
All proceeds will go to the Rams Foundation, the team’s charitable arm, which “aims to inspire change with a focus on providing access and opportunity, driving equity and fighting for equality for all Angelenos,” according to the team.
The Rams reached the NFC championship game with two road victories over higher-seeded teams. The Rams were 12-5 in the regular season, which gave them the No. 5 seed in the NFC. They defeated the fourth-seeded Carolina Panthers, 34-31, in a wild-card round game Jan. 10 and the Chicago Bears, 20-17, in overtime, in a divisional round game Sunday.
The Seahawks are the top seed in the NFC after winning the NFC West with a 14-3 record, receiving a bye in the wild-card round. They defeated the San Francisco 49ers, 41-6, in a divisional round game Saturday.
