The Seattle Seahawks have had a remarkable 2025 season. A 14–3 record earned them the NFC East title, the No. 1 seed, and, perhaps most importantly, home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.
That was a key factor in the Seahawks being able to defeat a banged-up 49ers team that, with multiple injuries, no week of rest, and a grueling road path, could not put up much resistance in Seattle.
Now, the next challenge is the Rams, who have become true road warriors, playing seven of their last nine games away from home. In addition, after an epic finish in Chicago, they arrive at the NFC Championship Game highly motivated, with Matthew Stafford trying to cap off his MVP campaign.
Zach Charbonnet is out for Seahawks vs Rams in 2026 NFC Championship Game
Zach Charbonnet is out for the rest of the season with the Seahawks due to a knee injury. That is why the star running back will not be available to face the Los Angeles Rams or in a potential Super Bowl.
Seahawks starting running back vs Rams
Kenneth Walker will be the starting running back for the Seattle Seahawks against the Los Angeles Rams. His workload will increase significantly, and with Sam Darnold dealing with an oblique injury, there is no doubt that the RB could define the outcome.
