Well… that was a crazy weekend. The divisional round of the NFL playoffs is over, and the conference championship games are officially set. In the AFC, you’ve got the New England Patriots heading to Denver to take on a Bo Nix–less Broncos team after Nix broke his ankle in the final moments of their win over Buffalo. But let’s be honest. All eyes are on the NFC. Because this is the matchup we all expected. This is the matchup NFL fans deserve. The Los Angeles Rams vs. the Seat
It all comes down to tomorrow night. I genuinely cannot remember the last time I felt this nervous, excited, anxious, and scared about a sporting event all at once. Tomorrow, the Seattle Seahawks play their first playoff game of the year, hosting the San Francisco 49ers in a divisional-round matchup at Lumen Field. This isn’t just any playoff game. It’s a division rivalry game. And it’s one where the Seahawks enter as the number one seed in the NFC. They are currently the Las
After years of being mediocre, being stuck in that 9-8 or 10-7 range of teams and never really viewed as a true Super Bowl contender, the Seattle Seahawks have officially arrived. They finished the regular season tied for the best record in football at 14–3, earned the number one seed in the NFC, and set a new franchise record for most wins in a single regular season. That alone is impressive, but when you look at where this team was not that long ago, it becomes even more re
So, was I dreaming last night, or did that actually happen? The Seattle Seahawks and the Los Angeles Rams played in possibly the greatest Thursday Night Football game ever played and possibly the most important Thursday Night Football game ever played. In my opinion, it was the game of the NFL season, and you can absolutely make an argument that it was the game of the decade. Both teams came into this matchup at 11–3. This was a game about controlling your destiny, not just f
As we get closer and closer to the end of the NFL regular season, it also means we are obviously getting closer to the NFL playoffs. Earlier this season, I wrote an article about playoff matchups I really wanted to see. But as I start to think more about the potential teams and the teams it looks like we will be getting in the postseason in January, there is one potential matchup that really intrigues me. And it is not because of the players on the field. It is because of the
This past week might go down as one of the worst sports weeks of my life—or at least the worst in a long time. Everything seemed to hit at once. My favourite hockey team, the Montreal Canadiens, went from rolling to collapsing under a wave of injuries, and my favourite NFL team, the Seattle Seahawks, reminded me how tough it will be for me to fully trust them as they try to chase a Super Bowl title this year. Let’s break down how all of this somehow happened in seven days and
There have been plenty of surprises this NFL season, with unexpected teams coming out of nowhere to be possible Super Bowl contenders, and two of those are the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots. And while I did think both of these teams going into the year would be playoff teams, I did not think I would realistically be discussing both teams potentially being Super Bowl bound this year, and yes, I do think we need this matchup in Super Bowl LX this February. And w
