The Los Angeles Rams are headed to Super Bowl 56 after defeating the 49ers 20-17 in the NFC Championship on Sunday night.
The Rams defied the odds by makinga second half comeback after trailing by 10 points heading into the half. The Rams shut the 49ers out in the second half, scoring 13 unanswered points. Apick off Jimmy Garoppolo sealed the deal for the Rams with just over a minute remaining in the game.
Cooper Kupp (142) and Odell Beckham Jr. (113) both finished with over 100 receiving yards. This is the first time two Rams players have finished with at least 100 receiving yards this season. The last time the Rams did this in the playoffs was during the 2004 wild-card game (Torry Holt and Kevin Curtis), when they were the St. Louis Rams, according to ESPN Stats & Info .
Kupp scored the Ramsβ only two touchdowns of the night. Deebo Samuel scored the longest touchdown of the night, though, with a 44-yard scoring play in the second quarter. Samuel finishes his season with an average of 10 yards per catch, which leads wide receivers in the league this season. George Kittle scored the 49ersβ other touchdown of the game.
The Rams wonβt have to travel for the Super Bowl on Feb. 13 as their home stadium, SoFi Stadium, will be hosting the biggest game of the year. The Rams will face the AFC champions, the Bengals.
