New England Patriots at Denver Broncos – NFL Conference Championship Results According to Madden 26

TEAM 1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4th Quarter FINAL
#2 NE 7 10 3 7 27
#1 DEN 7 6 7 0 20

Although Jarrett Stidham performed admirably while Bo Nix was out, the Broncos ultimately couldn’t stop the Patriots from reaching their 12th Super Bowl. Denver played a competitive game, with key defensive plays keeping them in contention. However, despite a solid effort, Stidham, making his first start since 2023, struggled with accuracy at times.

New England was only behind once during the game, but they finished the first half with a 17-13 lead. Quarterback Drake Maye contributed to the win with both a passing touchdown and a rushing touchdown. Later, a six-yard run by Rhamondre Stevenson put the Patriots ahead 27-20 with around 13 minutes remaining in the game.

Denver had several opportunities to even the score, and late in the game, Stidham drove the Broncos down to the Patriots’ 18-yard line with only 16 seconds remaining. However, four incomplete passes and a failed attempt to convert on fourth down sealed their fate, resulting in a New England win. While the Broncos put up a strong effort, it wasn’t enough, and their season concludes with a disappointing loss.

Los Angeles Rams at Seattle Seahawks – NFL Conference Championship Results According to Madden 26

TEAM 1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4th Quarter OT FINAL
#5 LAR 3 0 0 21 7 31
#1 SEA 7 7 7 3 0 24

The Seattle Seahawks played a strong game, but the Rams rallied with three late touchdowns in the final nine minutes, sending the game into overtime.

Kenneth Walker III stepped up big for the Seahawks, becoming the primary running back with Zach Charbonnet unavailable. He scored three touchdowns, highlighted by a 32-yard run in the third quarter. The rainy weather made passing difficult, and quarterback Sam Darnold had trouble completing throws.

The game saw a dramatic comeback led by Matthew Stafford, who came alive in the fourth quarter. He connected with Puka Nacua for two consecutive touchdowns, putting the Rams ahead 24-17 with only 1:28 remaining. The Rams’ defense quickly forced a punt, and they regained possession with around 1:19 left on the clock. While the Rams’ offense couldn’t move the ball far, gaining just 16 yards in a minute, Davante Adams made a game-saving 60-yard touchdown catch as time ran out.

Rams receiver Xavier Smith scored the winning touchdown in overtime. The Seahawks, led by quarterback Darnold, managed to get into Rams territory on their final drive, but they couldn’t sustain it and were stopped short, ending their season.

Madden 26 predicts the New England Patriots and the Los Angeles Rams will face off in Super Bowl LX. This wouldn’t be the first time these teams have met in the Super Bowl – the Patriots have won both of their previous matchups, and both victories happened while Tom Brady was their quarterback.

That concludes our look at the NFL Conference Championship Round results as predicted by Madden 26. We hope you enjoyed the simulation, and we’re excited to see how accurate the predictions turn out to be! No matter what happens, we’re looking forward to seeing what surprising scenarios the game forecasts.
