Buccaneers To Miss Out on NFC Championship After Losing to Rams

Last weekend was full of surprises for NFL fans, and the game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Los Angeles Rams brought another shocking upset their way. The Bucs and Tom Brady failed to proceed to the NFC championship game after losing to the Rams 30-27. The Rams were off to a great start from the beginning of the game until Brady rallied the Bucs from a 27-3 second-half deficit and helped his side make a comeback. The Rams were close to blowing their 24-point lead, but eventually scored a big win thanks to Matt Gay's game-winning 30-yard field goal in the game’s final minute. The Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford managed to outplay Tom Brady, as he threw for 366 yards and two touchdowns, but he didn’t come into this game expecting an easy win. “We knew it wasn’t going to be easy. I mean, we sure let ’em back in the game with a bunch of mistakes on offense. Our defense played outstanding… This is a tough team, man, this is what we’re all about. Just happy to get a win and keep on moving,” said Stafford after the game. The Los Angeles Rams will face the San Francisco 49ers at the SoFi Stadium on January 30 for a chance to secure a spot in the Super Bowl LVI.
