The Seahawks are headed back to the Super Bowl thanks to their dramatic 31-27 win over the Rams in Sunday's NFC championship game. In addition to that final score, here are 12 numbers that help tell the story of Sunday's win over the Rams:

4

NFC titles for the Seahawks, who will be headed back to the Super Bowl for the first time in 11 years. The Seahawks are now 4 for 4 in NFC championship games, having won all four games at home.

9

Consecutive wins by the Seahawks to reach the Super Bowl, their longest winning streak since winning 11 straight in 2005. That streak includes five straight wins over playoff teams starting with a Week 16 win over the Rams, followed by wins over the Panthers, the 49ers, the 49ers again, and then the Rams on Sunday.

346 and 3

Passing yards and touchdowns for Sam Darnold to lead the offense on a day when the Seahawks needed a lot out of him and the passing game.

0

Turnovers for the Seahawks, their third straight game without a turnover.

127.8 and 127.6

The passer ratings of Darnold and Matthew Stafford, respectively, an indication of how well both quarterbacks and the passing games functioned.

153

Receiving yards for Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who had his second playoff touchdown in as many games. Smith-Njigba's 115 first-half yards were the most in a half of a postseason game in franchise history.

111

Scrimmage yards for running back Kenneth Walker III, who rushed for 62 yards and a score while adding four catches for 49 yards. Walker now has four touchdowns this postseason.

2

Big catches for Jake Bobo this postseason, matching his number of receptions in the entire regular season. Last week, Bobo had a 16-yard gain on third-and-10 to extend a drive that ended with a touchdown, and against the Rams, he scored a 17-yard touchdown.

1 for 8

The Rams' conversion rate on third down, compared to 7 for 13 for Seattle's offense. That disparity was a big factor in a game in which the Rams had more first downs, yards and averaged more yards per play than Seattle.

2

Passes defensed by Devon Witherspoon on consecutive plays, breaking up third and fourth-down passes in the end zone to help preserve the lead late in the game.

3

Passes defensed by Nick Emmanwori, including two on consecutive plays late in the second quarter to force a punt, giving the offense the ball back with enough time to score a touchdown.

2

Muffed punts by the Rams, one of which was recovered by Dareke Young, setting up a Seahawks touchdown. It was the second straight win over the Rams that has featured a game-changing play on special teams along with Seattle's Week 16 victory in which Rashid Shaheed had a 58-yard punt return to help spark a comeback.

The Seahawks defeated the Rams 31-27 to win the NFC Championship and advance to Super Bowl LX. Check out the top photos  George Halas NFC Championship trophy ceremony.
