What Happened in the NFL Conference Championships?

Patriots 107 Broncos

(Denver +3.5)

The Denver Broncos’ hopes of an upset, led by backup quarterback Jarret Stidham, disappeared with the field markings as second-half snow turned the AFC Championship game into one that suited a New England Patriots team growing ever stronger. In tucking the ball and running for the first down off a bootleg, Drake Maye had his first signature moment as the Pats’ new franchise quarterback — and sent his team to the Super Bowl.

Seahawks 3127 Rams

(Seattle -2)

The Seattle Seahawks and L.A. Rams spent most of the regular season seemingly on a collision course, after a pair of classics earlier in the year. The third and final meeting wasn’t any different, as a pair of late Rams drives came up short in their effort to make up a four-point deficit. Instead, a dominant Seahawks defense held tough in the face of an MVP-calibre effort from Matthew Stafford.
