I know legally that it may be inevitable down the line, but I don't think any #Seahawks fan should desire Jody Allen selling the team. The organization is in really good hands.

Back in Week 11, Ernest Jones wasn’t shy coming to defense of his quarterback after a tough loss to the Rams.

Fast forward to an NFC title-clinching victory against the same foe, those words set a clear leadership standard for the #Seahawks: https://ow.ly/yFHQ50Y43UJ
‘Everything I Said, Stood On It’: Ernest Jones Sets Leadership Standard for Super Bowl-Bound Seahawks — Emerald City Spectrum
Back in Week 11, Ernest Jones wasn’t shy coming to defense of his quarterback after a tough loss to the Rams. Fast forward to an NFC title-clinching victory at Lumen Field against the same foe, those words resonated in the locker room and set a clear leadership standard.

"He can’t make the clutch throws."

"He can’t avoid turnovers."

"He can’t help seeing ghosts.

Guiding the #Seahawks to an NFC crown and Super Bowl berth, the narratives that followed Sam Darnold from dreary days in New York are no more:

Sam Darnold’s ‘High-Powered Quarterbacking’ Silences Doubters, Vaults Seahawks Into Super Bowl — Emerald City Spectrum
He can’t make the clutch throws. He can’t avoid turnovers. He can’t help seeing ghosts. Now an NFC Champion quarterback, narratives that followed Sam Darnold from dreary days in New York have finally been exterminated leading the Seahawks to the Super Bowl.

Holding on in a tight battle that played out as advertised, the #Seahawks leaned on Sam Darnold’s throwing arm to edge the Rams and punch a ticket to the Super Bowl for the first time in 11 years.

GAME! Nacua stays inbounds and the clock runs out...

#Seahawks are SUPER BOWL bound!!!!!
January 26, 2026 at 2:52 AM
10 seconds left. 23-yard catch for Nacua followed by a spike. Rams are at the Seahawks 30-yard line.
January 26, 2026 at 2:50 AM
I have no idea what Seattle was trying to do there. But a five yard loss on a rush by Darnold brings Dickson out for the punt.

Rams will have one more shot with no timeouts and 25 seconds left as they start at the seven-yard line.
January 26, 2026 at 2:49 AM
Two-minute warning: #Seahawks 31, Rams 27

Seattle has 2nd and 4. One more first down ices this thing.
January 26, 2026 at 2:44 AM
Defensive holding against the Rams will give the #Seahawks a new set of downs. Fans starting to feel it now...
January 26, 2026 at 2:42 AM
HUGE first down for the Seahawks as Kubiak dials up play action and Darnold finds Smith-Njigba for a first down.

Tick, tick, tick, tick...
January 26, 2026 at 2:40 AM
Rams officially are out of timeouts with 3:05 to go. Can't stop clock except for the two minute warning.
January 26, 2026 at 2:39 AM
Cooper Kupp catches 3rd and 7 pass and fumbles, but officials rule him down by contact and he's given the first down.
January 26, 2026 at 2:36 AM
#Seahawks injury updates: Drake Thomas (shoulder) questionable to return, while Brady Russell (hand) is out.
January 26, 2026 at 2:33 AM
Rams start burning timeouts at the 3:26 mark after a three-yard first down run by Walker.
January 26, 2026 at 2:31 AM
Ken Walker III magic returns! Darnold dumps it off to him and he makes a defender miss, picking up 15 yards and a first down.
January 26, 2026 at 2:31 AM
Broken up! Back-to-back from Witherspoon and Seattle gets turnover on downs with 4:54 to go.
January 26, 2026 at 2:27 AM
Devon Witherspoon finally comes up with a big play in the red zone, forcing a pass breakup in the end zone on third down.

Rams going for it on 4th and 4.
January 26, 2026 at 2:26 AM
Stafford's third down throw is dropped by Colby Parkinson. That would have likely been a touchdown.

Rams are going for it on 4th and 1.
January 26, 2026 at 2:21 AM
Mike Macdonald does not get carved up like this. Sean McVay is in his bag right now.
