Sixty minutes wasn’t enough time for the NFC Championship Game between the Los Angeles Rams and the New Orleans Saints. After what looked like a lackluster performance by LA early on, perseverance and special teams would be what eventually got this gutty team to Atlanta.
The Rams were not sharp early on. The offense, who sputtered at best, finally found some traction late in the first half to get to within three points and go into halftime trailing 13-10. Quarterback Jared Goff, who wasn’t impressive early, would eventually finish with a solid line of 25 for 40, throwing for 297 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
