The NFC championship game could be the greatest NFL playoff matchup of all time
When the Seattle Seahawks and the Los Angeles Rams meet for the NFC championship Sunday night, it will be — by at least one measure — the best NFL showdown of nearly the last five decades.
“By DVOA, the NFC Championship Game is essentially the best NFL matchup of the last 47 years, and by a lot,” Aaron Schatz, the chief analytics officer of FTN Fantasy, posted on X in the lead-up to the game.
DVOA, for those unfamiliar, stands for “Defense-adjusted Value Over Average.” What is measures is a “team’s efficiency by comparing success on every single play to a league average based on situation and opponent.” More simply put, it’s a measure of how good a team is, weighted for situation and opposing team.
"Wouldn't want it any other way" What the Seahawks are saying ahead of NFC Championship
Only this time it's for the highest stakes possible between divisional rivals, since they can't play one another in the Super Bowl.
Back in November, the Rams edged the Seahawks 21-19, despite the Hawks playing arguably their worst game of the year.
In December, in an epic return game, Seattle won 38-37 in overtime.
Just imagine what this third matchup will bring, with a spot in Super Bowl 60 on the line?
Here's what the team is saying about the key points of the matchup heading into Sunday's game.
It was a tough blow in an otherwise sterling night after beating San Francisco 41-6 in the NFC Divisional Playoff, when Zach Charbonnet left with a knee injury.

Seahawks & Rams To Decide NFC Championship at Lumen Field: 'This Is Why We Do What We Do'
The only real question was in what round of the playoffs and in whose stadium, but since midway through the 2025 season, it felt like the Seahawks and Rams were destined to face off for a third time in the playoffs, and that became even more evident after the two teams played a pair of down-to-the wire games that each came down to the final play of the game, with the Rams winning at home in Week 11 and the Seahawks winning at Lumen Field in Week 16.
On Sunday, Round 3 will take place at Lumen Field when the Seahawks host the Rams in the NFC championship game. The Seahawks earned that right by going 14-3 in the regular season, including that crucial late-season win over the Rams, to earn the NFC West title and the conference's top seed, while the Rams ended up the NFC's No. 5 seed with a 12-5 record, sending them on the road for the postseason. To get to this point, the Rams have earned hard-fought road wins over the Panthers and Bears, while the Seahawks won in dominant fashion against the 49ers after enjoying a first-round bye.
