Los Angeles might’ve been one of the few U.S. areas that wasn’t covered by snow and ice during Conference Championship Weekend; with a trip to Super Bowl XL at play, though, Seattle’s Devon Witherspoon often made sure they were blanketed by something else. The every-year-of-his-career Pro Bowler went into full-on takeover mode during one must-stop, fourth quarter stretch, as he recorded back-to-back touchdown-saving pass breakups, with the Rams’ high-powered offense needing a mere four yards to convert. The two-play sequence was of the utmost importance, as it allowed the Seahawks to preserve its lead, while ultimately fueling a 31-27 win on Jan. 25, 2026. Witherspoon survived sidearm throws and downfield attempts throughout, stamping his signature through six tackles and two passes defended.
