MacDonald joked that he’s an amateur when it comes to celebrations, noting he hasn’t smoked a cigar like his players after clinching the top seed in Week 18. He still plans to review the game tape first, keeping the postgame mood light but focused. 😄📺
He tipped his cap to the 49ers, calling them a tremendous offense with excellent players and coaches. He praised Seattle’s defense for another strong showing and lauded the team’s complimentary football—players rushing unselfishly to free teammates and help cover for one another. 👏🧠
The coach also credited Seahawks fans for making Lumen Field a tough place to play, emphasizing the pride in hosting at least one home playoff game. The 12s have been dynamite all year, and MacDonald said they were thrilled to stay home. 🙌💙
Seattle will host the NFC Championship at home for the first time since the 2014 season, a year that culminated in a Super Bowl appearance after beating the Packers (a game they then lost to the Patriots). If they advance again, there’s a real chance the next opponent could be the Los Angeles Rams, adding another NFC West rematch to the mix. 🏟️🏆🐏
