SEATTLE -- Jamal Adams lit up a victory cigar at the end of his postgame video conference, reveling in his new team's first NFC West championship since 2016.
Russell Wilson called the Seattle Seahawks' accomplishment a blessing and got emotional while recalling how challenging of a year it's been.
Pete Carroll said the team's resurgent defense has proven that it's for real.
That group's turnaround from its historically bad start to the season continued Sunday as the Seahawks (11-4) held the Los Angeles Rams (9-6) to three field goals in a 20-9 win at Lumen Field.
