Trends from Seahawks' last Super Bowl berth in 2015 - ESPN

The Seattle Seahawks are headed back to the Super Bowl.

Seattle defeated the Los Angeles Rams in a 31-27 win in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday night.

Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold threw for 346 yards and three touchdowns, while Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford had 374 passing yards and three scores himself. Darnold and Stafford are the second pair of opposing quarterbacks to both have 300 passing yards and three passing touchdowns in a Conference Championship game, according to ESPN Research. Seattle will now face the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX, a rematch of Super Bowl XLIX — also against the Patriots.

The last time Seattle punched its ticket to the Super Bowl was Jan. 18, 2015, when the Seahawks defeated an Aaron Rodgers-led Green Bay Packers squad in a classic overtime thriller. Although he threw four interceptions in the win, then-quarterback Russell Wilson went for 209 passing yards with a touchdown compared to Rodgers' 178 air yards with a touchdown.

And while it's a new era in Seattle, 2015 was also a great time to be alive.

Here's what was happening in the sports and entertainment world when the Seahawks last went to the Super Bowl.

Just six days before the Seahawks earned themselves a trip to Super Bowl XLIX, Ohio State made history in the college football world with a 42-20 upset victory over Oregon in the first College Football Playoff National Championship game.

The Buckeyes, who were the No. 4 seed, took a 21-7 lead in the first half, forcing the Ducks to play catch-up.

Oregon eventually closed the deficit in the third quarter, making it a one-point game before Buckeyes running back Ezekiel Elliot took over and rushed for three touchdowns to give Ohio State the edge over Oregon.
