The Rams' season ended with a heartbreaking loss to the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC championship game on Sunday.

Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold threw for 346 yards and three touchdowns. That was enough to give Seattle the 31-27 win.

Late in the game, with Los Angeles facing fourth-and-4 at the Seattle 6, coach Sean McVay elected to go for it and Matthew Stafford's pass was broken up in the end zone by Devon Witherspoon.

The Rams didn't get the ball back until there were 25 seconds left, and Puka Nacua was tackled inbounds near midfield on the final play.

Seattle will face the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl.
