Who will the Seahawks play next? Potential NFC championship opponents

[ASFN Admin]

The Seattle Seahawks will play for a spot in the Super Bowl next week. All that's left to do is wait and see who they'll play next.

Seattle's win closed out the first day of the NFL playoffs' divisional round after the Broncos vs. Bills' AFC divisional matchup got things started with a Denver win. With the Seahawks win, they earned their first conference championship berth since 2014, when they went to a second straight Super Bowl before losing to the New England Patriots.

Seattle will have to wait for the final game of the round to see if they'll be playing the Chicago Bears or Los Angeles Rams in the NFC championship game.

Here's what to know about the Seahawks' potential upcoming opponent:
