The Los Angeles Rams defeated the San Francisco 49ers 20-17 in Sunday's NFC championship game. They will now face the Cincinnati Bengals at Super Bowl LVI, set for Feb. 13 at SoFi Stadium, home of the Rams.

The game was a thriller — in the fourth quarter, the Rams were down 10 points, but they turned things around, and when Matt Gay made a 30-yard kick with 1:46 left in play, it gave the Rams a 20-17 lead that they didn't give up. Their 10-point comeback was the largest fourth-quarter comeback in NFC championship game history, the Los Angeles Times reports.
