Last winter, the Los Angeles Rams acquired Matthew Stafford in a sensational deal across the league. The seasoned quarterback said he wanted to play some big-court games, and in his 12 seasons with the Detroit Lions, he rarely got that chance.
Today, in a game off the beaten track, Stafford led the Rams to a dramatic 30-27 victory over the Tampa Bay Pirates, heading high into the National League final, one step closer to the Super Bowl. They were nearly knocked out and the Rams led 27-3 in the third quarter, but four turnovers in the fourth quarter helped the Pirates equalize. It wasn't until the final seconds of the game that Stafford stepped up and completed the large-size advance with two passes, and kicker Matt Gay hit a 30-yard free-kick.
Finally, one minute was left for the Rams, and Stafford was also captured in the first attack. But then, Stafford's two passes of 20 yards and 44 yards were aimed at Cooper Karp to complete the winning attack. With heaven in one hand and hell in the other, the Rams turned an epic rout into an exciting victory, and Los Angeles fans were afraid to eat a whole bottle of quick-acting pills to get it back. They will play the National League final with the San Francisco 49ers at SoFi Stadium next week before having the chance to play the Super Bowl at home like last year's Pirates.
In this game, Stafford's performance was clean and clean, advancing 366 yards in 38 passes and 28 to achieve two touchdowns, and one rushing touchdown. He was again helped by offensive players and star-studded defenders, with the Rams making three tackles and one interception to get him three touchdowns in the final 16 minutes. Judging by all the performances, it would be a shame if Stafford didn't win in the playoffs.
"We knew it wasn't going to be easy," Stafford said after the game: "We made too many mistakes in the game to bring the opponent back to life. But we are a strong team and we are happy to win the game and continue to move forward with our brothers. Coop is the offensive core and soul of this game, and he is an impeccable player in the low position, high position and road attack. ”
Brady advanced 329 yards on 30 of 54 passes, making one touchdown and one interception. In the fourth quarter of the fight mode, Furnett first came out on top for the team, and then Mike Evans had 3 minutes and 20 seconds left in the game to complete the 55-yard touchdown to chase the score to 20-27. Finally, with 4 shorts with 1 minute left in the game, Furnett took a direct detour to the right side to complete the touchdown.
The game against the 49ers wasn't easy to play, and in the regular season, the 49ers had double-killed the Rams, including a 27-24 overtime kill in week 18. In that game, the 49ers completed a 0-17 comeback. The fourth seed is going to play the federation final at home, and according to statistics, since 1990, only the Arizona Cardinals in 2008 have played the National League final at home as the fourth seed.
