Los Angeles Rams sqeek by the Saints to reach the Super Bowl
The Los Angeles Rams defeated the New Orleans Saints Sunday to go to the Super Bowl for the forth time. The Rams walked into the Mercedes-Benz Superdome with a wave of momentum after last weeks dominant performance against the Dallas Cowboys. the Saints were in control of the early stages of the game quickly earning 13 point lead to end the first quarter. in the second quarter the Rams offense began to move the ball to cut the lead to three to end the half. The Saints increased their lead to ten to open the half with screen pass from quarterback Drew Brees to quarterback Taysom Hill on third and goal (at the 8:39 mark 3rd quarter). The Rams took their time gradually chipping time off the clock as they scored with a play-action pass from quarterback Jared Goff to tight end Tyler Higbee. late in the Game the Saints were inching towards the red zone on third won when a pass was thrown incomplete due to a collision between cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman and Saints wide receiver Tommie lee Lewis. this was one of the biggest plays of the game because the refs missed the call on an obvious pass interference which force the game into overtime.
With the score tied 23 to 23 at the end of regulation the Rams were able to kick their way into Super Bowl 53 thanks to an untimely interception by Drew Brees and the steady arm of Jared Goff to put the rams into field goal range to setup a 57 yard field goal by kicker Greg Zuelein. in closing I feel that this was a very close game played by too evenly matched teams that from the start of the second half I knew that who had possession to end the game would be the winner. other than the no-call in the forth quarter the game was played with a lot of back and forth swings of momentum. the Saints finished the game with 290 yards of offense while the Rams finished with 378 yards. The Rams averaged 5.6 yards per play with the Saints averaging 4.5 yards per play. Drew Brees finished the game with a passer rating of 88.4 completed 26 out of 40 passes for 242 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. Jared Goff finished the Game with a passer rating of 75.1 completing 25 out of 40 passes for 297 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
This game was very close, in my opinion the Saint could have won if the utilized Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram more even with the missed penalty. The Rams simply controlled the clock better and terrorized Brees the whole game. Defensively the Saints gave Goff too much time to find open receivers allowing him to move the ball up the field with ease.
My prediction for the Super Bowl is the Patriots as the winners because as well as Goff played in the championship game I feel that if he makes too many mistakes and allows time for Tom Brady to score the rams defense won’t be able to hold the Patriots off.
