Patriots edge Broncos to reach Super Bowl as championship weekend wraps in snow
New England advanced to Super Bowl LX with a 10-7 win over Denver in a snow-soaked AFC Championship, while Seattle beat the Rams 31-27 in the NFC title game, according to a scoreboard roundup.
The NFL’s conference championship weekend concluded with weather and defense playing starring roles, as New England and Seattle emerged with wins to book their places in Super Bowl LX.
A scoreboard roundup distributed by ABC Audio listed the final from the AFC Championship as Patriots 10, Broncos 7, and the NFC Championship as Seahawks 31, Rams 27, capturing a weekend shaped by winter conditions and tight margins.
The Patriots’ narrow victory over Denver reflected a game where points were hard to come by and mistakes were costly, a pattern typical of late-January football in challenging conditions. The low-scoring result underscored how field position, clock control, and defense can decide postseason outcomes when offenses struggle to find rhythm.
Seattle’s win over the Rams, by contrast, featured more scoring but was still decided by a single possession, keeping the outcome in doubt until late. With both conference titles settled, attention now turns to the Super Bowl matchup, planning, and injuries, as teams shift from survival to preparation.
Beyond the NFL, the same roundup included results across the NBA and NHL from Sunday’s slate, reflecting a busy North American sports calendar as leagues navigated winter travel and schedule disruptions.
