Outside of one touchdown drive in the first 30 minutes, L.A. failed to produce any points in the first half. Fortunately for them, their defense managed to keep the Panthers in check.
Carolina did manage to take a lead early on when Bryce Young found Jalen Coker for a 38 Yd touchdown pass. But even the Panthers’ offense struggled to do anything else, which ended up hurting them in the end. They also shot themselves in the foot several times, failing to convert three fourth down attempts.
L.A. managed to reclaim the lead when Kyren Williams ran for a 2 Yd touchdown in the third quarter. They proceeded to score another 13 unanswered points, including a 5 Yd touchdown reception from Tyler Higbee with just over 4 minutes to go. With a 24-10 lead, it seemed like the game was all but over.
After the Panthers failed to convert their final fourth-down attempt, L.A. managed to squeeze in one more FG. This made it a 17-point game and virtually impossible for Carolina to comeback. Nevertheless, that didn’t stop Young from driving down the field and picking up a garbage time score.
Overall, neither QB turned the ball over. However, they were both inaccurate, with neither passer completing 60% of their throws. Most of the credit goes to Rams’ RB Kyren Williams. He ended up earning 116 rushing yards on 24 carries, including a big 45-yard run.
With the win, the Los Angeles Rams advance to the Divisional Round of the playoffs. They’d need to win two more games in order to advance to the Super Bowl.
