The Los Angeles Rams rallied past the San Francisco 49ers 20-17 for the NFC title, and will play the Super Bowl at home against Cincinnati.
The Rams hosted San Francisco at SoFi Stadium, which will be the site of the Feb. 13 Super Bowl. The Rams were 14-5 and San Francisco 12-7.
Earlier, matching the biggest comeback in an AFC championship game, the Bengals rallied from an 18-point hole to stun Kansas City 27-24 in overtime Sunday for their first trip to the big game since the 1988 season. The team that won only two games in 2019, earning them the top overall draft pick that they used on quarterback Joe Burrow, pretty much dominated the Chiefs after the first quarter.
