The stage is set for San Francisco. After a Sunday of extreme weather and even more extreme drama, the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks have emerged as the last teams standing.

In the AFC, we saw a "Snow Bowl" for the ages. Mike Vrabel’s Patriots braved a literal blizzard and a hostile Mile High crowd to grind out a 10–7 victory over the Broncos. We break down how Drake Maye used his legs when the air attack froze over, and why Christian Gonzalez is officially the MVP of this New England defense. Plus, we discuss the "what-ifs" for Denver—did the Bo Nix injury cost them a Super Bowl trip?

Then, we head West to the loudest stadium in the NFL. The Seahawks and Rams traded blows in a 31–27 thriller that came down to the final seconds. Is Sam Darnold the greatest redemption story in league history? We dive into JSN’s massive night, the Rams’ costly special teams blunders, and the Devon Witherspoon pass breakup that saved Seattle’s season.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The Ice-Man Cometh: How the Patriots’ 16-play drive "melted" the Broncos' hopes.

• Darnold’s Masterclass: Why Seattle’s signal-caller is playing the best football of his life.

• Stafford’s Last Stand? Reacting to the Rams' heartbreaking exit and what’s next for the veteran QB.

• Super Bowl LX Early Look: Does New England’s grit beat Seattle’s explosive air attack?
