I suspect most Seattle Seahawks fans would’ve figured the worst case scenario out of these conference title games was for the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams to prevail. That’s exactly what happened. And they both did so in overtime.
The Rams rallied from 13-0 down to beat the New Orleans Saints 26-23 in overtime, in large part because Sean Payton called a bizarre game, and then Tommy Lee Lewis was allowed to be decleated without penalty on Nickell Robey-Coleman. This would’ve given the Saints a new set of downs and basically they’d have been able to run almost all the clock out and kick the winning field goal.
