En el papel, no eran los favoritos, las apuestas no estaban a su favor, ni eran dueños de casa y tenían en frente a un equipo que los humilló en pretemporada y los anuló en la temporada regular… aún así los Rams lograron una victoria histórica de 26-23 contra los Saints de Nueva Orleans en un electrizante e imponente Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

El juego se fue a tiempo extra después de que empataron en tiempo regular 23-23 y con un gol de campo de 57 yardas de Greg Zuerlein envió a los Rams al Super Bowl LIII después de 17 años y convertirse en los campeones de la Conferencia Nacional.

El partido se jugará el 3 de febrero en el Mercedes-Benz Stadium de Atlanta.

El mariscal de campo de los Rams, Jared Goff, quien está en su tercera temporada como profesional, mantuvo los nervios bajo control para ayudar a su equipo salir de un déficit de 13-0.

Los angelinos aguardan al ganador del juego entre los Patriots de Nueva Inglaterra y los Chiefs de Kansas City.
