Rams advance to NFC championship game; will Saints join them?

The Los Angeles Rams defeated the upstart Dallas Cowboys in the divisional round of the 2018 NFL playoffs, accomplishing what no other team has managed: a physically-dominant attack that ran all over the vaunted Cowboys defense. Los Angeles won 30-22, and advance to the NFC championship game. They’re 60 minutes away from Super Bowl 53.

Now it’s up to the New Orleans Saints to take care of business. The Saints play host to the Philadelphia Eagles, the reigning Super bowl champions, and must knock Philadelphia out of the postseason tournament to advance themselves. If they do that, the Saints won’t just reach the NFC championship game – they will host it, surrounded by the comforts of the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
