The Seattle Seahawks are heading to the Super Bowl after a 31-27 victory over the Los Angeles Rams at Lumen Field. Sam Darnold came up big when it mattered most, connecting with Jaxon Smith-Njigba for touchdown before halftime after taking a crushing hit. Kenneth Walker III punched in the opening score, and the offense executed a masterful five-minute drive that helped close out the game. The defense came up big on a critical fourth-and-four stop, with Julian Love and DeMarcus Lawrence dropping into coverage to stuff the Rams attempt—a play Sean McVay dismissed as "luck" in his post-game comments. Riq Woolen's costly taunting penalty on third down helped give the Rams an opening, leading to an immediate Puka Nacua touchdown. Cooper Kupp proved instrumental in the Seahawks' success, making key third-down conversions against his former team after the Rams organization reportedly urged other teams to lowball him in free agency (which we later cover in the Do Better segment). In the second half of the show, we look ahead to Super Bowl matchup against the New England Patriots. The Seahawks face a Drake Maye-led offense that excels under pressure but lacks some of the firepower of previous opponents. The franchise has a chance to exorcise demons from Super Bowl XLIX and claim the Lombardi Trophy on the 49ers' home turf in Santa Clara, completing one of the most unexpected and satisfying seasons in recent memory.  Join our Sea Hawkers Podcast Pickem League - free prizes for weekly winners.

We take a listen to Cooper Kupp today and it exemplifies just how selfless he is as a leader. Corbin Smith, Emerald City Spectrum doesn't have a surprise injury to report this week, as we had with Sam Darnold's oblique last week.

Mike MacDonald spoke to the media yesterday and gave his thoughts on turnover differential, Puka Nacua and the health of his quarterback. Sam isn't taking all the reps in practice and we are ok with that. Puka is a force, can the Seahawks defense stop him from getting 200+ yards again?

Seismic activity at sporting events is nothing new to Seattle fans. Many of us remember Marshawn Lynch’s 2011 BEAST-QUAKE. Seahawks fans revel in Lumen Field’s reputation for noise when opposing teams are on offense… Even T-Mobile Park has experienced its fair share of shaking.

RUNDOWN   Mitch and Hotshot Scott reflect on the chaos and anticipation surrounding a third Seahawks–Rams matchup, debating momentum, matchup fatigue, and why this NFC Championship feels destined to be a coin flip despite Seattle's recent dominance. But the segment segues into a January 19th birthday remembrances, including Jean Stapleton, Junior Seau, Walter Jones, and a celebration of Dolly Parton. Mitch and Hotshot Scott relive all three previous NFC Championship Games at Lumen Field, from the 2006 breakthrough to the Miracle in 2014, while setting the stage for a fourth rubber match between the Seahawks and Rams. The discussion centers on the emotional weight of the 12th Man flag tradition following Paul Allen's legacy and the uncertainty around whether Pete Carroll, Jody Allen, or another iconic Seahawk should raise it. Ray Roberts explains why the Seahawks' 41–6 demolition of the 49ers wasn't a surprise, pointing to a confident, physical offensive line and a run game that has fully found its identity. He breaks down Kenneth Walker's late-season burst, the unselfish blocking culture among receivers, and how Sam Darnold's oblique injury hasn't altered Seattle's winning formula. Mitch, Brady Henderson, and Jacson Bevens break down why the Seahawks enter the NFC Championship Game in a stronger position than either previous matchup with the Rams, pointing to rest, home-field advantage, and a run game that has fully come alive. They discuss Sam Darnold's oblique injury, the status of key injuries up front, Kenneth Walker's late-season surge, and how Seattle might better contain Puka Nacua this time around. Mitch and Puck break down the emotional roller coaster of the Rams–Bears game and why the Rams, not Chicago, have always been the Seahawks' true postseason threat. They debate quarterback advantages, Sean McVay's mastery of the Seahawks defense, and whether Seattle's dominant run game and home-field edge can neutralize Matthew Stafford. The conversation also veers into NFC Championship superstitions, the 12th Man flag dilemma, and whether it's too soon for Pete Carroll to make a symbolic return.   GUESTS   Ray Roberts | Former NFL offensive lineman and Seahawks analyst Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Jason Puckett | (Pucksports) Seattle Sports Radio Host/Analyst   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Momentum, Memories, and Milestones — Seahawks–Rams III and a Walk Through January 19th History 18:58 | Three NFC Title Games, One Unanswered Question: Who Raises the 12th Man Flag This Time? 35:16 | GUEST: Ray Roberts; Ray Roberts Saw the Blowout Coming — Why the Seahawks Are Peaking at Exactly the Right Time 1:04:35 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Seahawks–Rams Rubber Match Looms — Why Seattle Is Built for This Moment 1:27:02 | GUEST: Jason Puckett; Why the Rams Are the Seahawks' Real Problem — and Why This NFC Title Game Feels Inevitable 1:47:33 | Other Stuff Segment: Lil Jon halftime performance at Lumen Field, Seahawks home atmosphere and crowd energy, Little John diner in Bellevue/Issaquah, 2026 Seahawks outlook and salary cap space, Seahawks pending free agents (Kenneth Walker, Rashid Shaheed, Riq Woolen, Coby Bryant), Denver Broncos quarterback injury and Jarrett Stidham starting AFC Championship, college football playoff expansion debate (12 vs 16 vs 24 teams), Big Ten vs SEC power struggle, Mike Tomlin stepping down as Steelers head coach, Kyle Tucker signing with Dodgers, Dodgers vs Marlins payroll disparity, Mariners spending frustration, Arizona high school basketball player Adrian Stubbs scoring 100 points, KISS internal feud over "Beth" songwriting credit.

The 49ers endured a brutal start to their NFC divisional-round matchup against the Seahawks on Saturday at Lumen Field, a kickoff return for a touchdown on the first play.

The duo also breaks down quarterback Brock Purdy's season and how the mutual investment he and the 49ers organization made in each other can benefit through his prime.

RUNDOWN   Mitch and Hotshot react to the Seahawks' latest statement win and the stunning reality that a team widely projected to finish under .500 now sits two home wins away from the Super Bowl. They break down why this run feels different from past Seahawks contenders, examine the favorable NFC landscape, and agree there's only one opponent that truly scares them: the Rams. Ray Roberts explains why the Seahawks' ability to run between the tackles and control tempo was the true difference in their win over San Francisco, giving the offense "the remote control" of the game. He details how Mike Macdonald's defense shut down Brock Purdy by eliminating explosive plays, dominating tackles, and keeping constant pressure, while also addressing the benefits and risks of Seattle's first-round bye as they sit two home wins from the Super Bowl. Brady Henderson and Jackson Bevens join Mitch to break down Seattle's 13–3 dismantling of the 49ers, a game that felt like a blowout long before the final whistle. They credit Mike Macdonald's defense for completely erasing Brock Purdy and Kyle Shanahan's offense, while the Seahawks' run-heavy attack controlled tempo and time of possession. The conversation turns to expectations that now come with the No. 1 seed, health heading into the divisional round, and whether any NFC team — Rams included — can realistically challenge Seattle at Lumen Field. Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch to explain how the College Football Playoff quarterfinals exposed the new reality of college football, from Miami's physical formula to Indiana's suffocating defense and Oregon's offensive limitations. He unpacks the NIL and transfer-portal frenzy surrounding stars like Trinidad Chambliss, predicts massive seven-figure payouts for elite quarterbacks, and calls the current system "absolute craziness" headed for a reset.   GUESTS   Ray Roberts | Former Seahawks offensive lineman; Seahawks Radio Network analyst Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion, Head Coach Dallas Renegades (UFL)   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Seahawks surge into Super Bowl contention as surprise NFC powerhouse — but one matchup still looms large. 16:10 | Seahawks dominate 49ers with elite defense and punishing run game in statement win at Santa Clara. 39:24 | GUEST: Ray Roberts; Ray Roberts breaks down Seahawks' physical dominance, elite defense, and Super Bowl–ready mindset after silencing the 49ers. 1:12:10 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Seahawks clinch NFC's top seed as dominant defense, punishing run game, and composure separate contenders from pretenders. 1:40:24 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; Neuheisel dives into CFP chaos, NIL madness, and why Indiana and Ole Miss are built to crash college football's old order. 2:05:00 | Other Stuff Segment: College Football Playoff Final Four, Indiana's dominance, Ole Miss upsetting Georgia, Miami upsetting Ohio State, Trinidad Chambliss eligibility and NIL bidding war, Lane Kiffin grocery basket incident, Washington transfer portal departures, DeMon Williams NIL deal and return to UW, Tiger Woods 50th birthday and Champions Tour eligibility, Rachel Uchitel wedding, USC–Notre Dame rivalry potentially ending, Lenny Dykstra arrest controversy, Tom Bodett and Motel 6 lawsuit settlement, Philip Rivers comeback reflection RIPs: Isaiah Whitlock (Actor — The Wire, Da 5 Bloods), Brigitte Bardot (French actress, global sex symbol), Melanie Watson Bernhardt (Actress — Diff'rent Strokes) Headlines Segment: German man sets Guinness record with over 11,000 snow globes, Scientists discover strange lemon-shaped planet that could "sour" your mood, Dating site grows for men with the world's smallest penis, Government releases list of the 25 worst items removed from people's bodies in 2025
