Preview coverage from therams.com
- Stu Jackson on Kyren Williams' energy and production making an impact in the playoffs
- "I think he's a stud in terms of his great energy. He's a lead by example guy. He's got this authentic energy. He has this consistent belief and this 'never say die' attitude. He's got this mental and physical toughness. He is so authentically and refreshingly himself. I think that's why it resonates with his teammates. He never asks anything of his teammates that he's not willing to do. He's done a hell of a job." - Sean McVay
- Stu Jackson on Davante Adams being eager to make an impact after missing the Rams' previous matchup against the Seahawks and losing his first four NFC Championship Game appearances
- "Just having been here so many times and understanding exactly what it takes to get where we (are) ultimately trying to go. So it's obviously exciting to achieve the minor goals along the way that you ultimately need to do to get where you want to be. But it just feels like, almost like a mythical thing to me at this point. Like, you do everything you can to get there, and it's been so hard, and been working so hard at it. We're close. We just got to finish it off." - Adams
- Wyatt Miller on Cobie Durant showing up in the big moments
- "The Landshark shows up when you need him the most. I just love his overall play energy and it certainly has ignited us." - McVay
- Wyatt Miller on three keys to winning for the Rams on Sunday
- "Seattle had the third-lowest conversion rate in the NFL on third-and-longs (seven or more yards to go) in the regular season at 17.8%, according to Next Gen Stats, and the lowest on pass plays in that context (17.3%). Forcing those will not only set the Rams up in positions to get the ball back, but will also give them opportunities to rush Darnold on true pass sets, where he has to throw the ball downfield. That will help L.A. cause the turnovers and/or negative plays that have yielded success against Darnold in the past." - Miller
Other preview coverage heading into the NFC Championship Game
- ESPN's Brady Henderson on Sam Darnold playing his "nemesis," the Rams' defense, for the third time
- "In four games against the Rams over the past two seasons, Darnold has 5 touchdown passes, 7 interceptions, 16 sacks and a 1-3 record. He has a Total QBR of 34.3 in those games -- his second worst among the 11 opponents he has faced at least twice in that span -- compared with 58.4 in every other game since the start of 2024." - Henderson
- The Athletic's Ted Nguyen on the most significant matchups in Sunday's NFC Championship Game
- "The Rams' secondary has picked off quarterbacks seven times in their last five games. In their two regular-season games against Darnold, they picked him off six times. The Rams finished ninth in interception rate in the regular season. Darnold finished 30th worst among 36 qualifying quarterbacks in interception rate (2.9 percent). He has put the ball in harm's way this season, and the Rams are opportunistic." - Nguyen
- LA Times' Gary Klein on Rams teammates knowing Matthew Stafford will be calm amid noise in Seattle
- "Just that command, that confidence, that poise, that ability to love those pressure-filled moments. I think that gives a calm in the midst of some of those chaotic moments, and I think that resonates with his teammates, and it creates a belief that's not exclusive to the offense. That's our whole football team, coaching staff included." - McVay
