And then there were three … games left − two of them coming Sunday. The 2025 NFL season is building to its summit, set to stop at base camp this weekend with its conference championship games.
The AFC title game will be Sunday’s first, the damaged Denver Broncos hosting the new edition New England Patriots. Historically? It’s a rematch from 10 years ago, when Peyton Manning’s Broncos defeated Tom Brady’s Pats on their way to a win in Super Bowl 50. This time, it’s Drake Maye’s Patriots versus former Patriot Jarrett Stidham’s Broncos.
On the NFC side, the Los Angeles Rams will visit the Seattle Seahawks in what’s hopefully a thrilling conclusion to this season’s trilogy between the NFC West rivals. The clubs split their first two meetings, the Rams outscoring the Seahawks by an aggregate of 58-57 and outgaining them 830 yards … to 829. Historically? Seattle is 11-2 in the playoffs at Lumen Field, both losses coming at the hands of … the Rams.
