Rams Advance To Super Bowl On Game Winning 57-Yard Field Goal
It was an instant classic between the Rams and Saints for the NFC Championship on Sunday. The Saints got out to a 13-point lead, only to see the Rams slowly crawl back into the game.
Tied at 23 at the end of regulation, the Saints got the ball to start the overtime period. Less than a minute into OT, Dante Fowler Jr. was able to pressure Drew Brees into throwing a jump ball that got picked near midfield by John Johnson.

This would set up the Rams for a 57-yard field goal, which kicker Greg Zuerlein nailed.
