Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams held on to advance to the NFC Championship Game after Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers erased a 24-point deficit.
Stafford pushed the lead to 27-3 on a one-yard touchdown run in the third.
That, of course, was nothing to Tom Brady, who once helped to erase a 28-3 deficit in the Super Bowl. A Bucs field goal followed by a Kupp fumble that led to a one-yard touchdown run by Fournette made it a two-possession game at 27-13. After the Rams went three-and-out, the two teams quickly exchanged possession by fumbling on back-to-back plays.
Brady was strip-sacked by Von Miller to give the Rams the ball at the Tampa Bay 25-yard line. On the ensuing play, the snap from Rams center Brian Allen went over the head of Stafford and was recovered by Jason Pierre-Paul to give the Bucs the ball back at the Los Angeles 45-yard line. The Bucs were unable to take advantage, turning the ball over on downs, though not without controversy.
Following a Rams punt, Brady, on a day when reports said the 44-year-old quarterback will contemplate retirement in the offseason, found Evans for a 55-yard touchdown with 3:20 remaining to pull the Buccaneers within 27-20. On the Rams' ensuing possession, Cam Akers fumbled, giving the ball back to the Bucs on the Los Angeles 30-yard line to set up Fournette's game-tying run.
