Before the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears square off tonight, there is another game taking place in the NFC Playoff bracket. The Los Angeles Rams and Carolina Panthers meet this afternoon for the right to play in the Divisional round of the playoffs, running back a rematch of an upset from Week 13.
On the Sunday after Thanksgiving, the Panthers gave the Rams all they could handle, knocking Los Angeles out of the #1 spot in the NFC. The Rams entered at 9-2 but lost 31-28 after the two teams traded scores throughout the game. Bryce Young’s 43-yard touchdown pass to Tet McMillan with six minutes left proved to be the difference, while Matthew Stafford threw a pair of interceptions and lost a fumble.
The Rams ended up short of Seattle in the NFC West race, and now come into the playoffs as the #5 seed, where they’ll face the #4 Panthers, who won the NFC South with a 8-9 record. Here’s how and when to tune in for this game before the Packers-Bears contest tonight.
