Rams stave off Panthers in wild-card thriller to advance
"The Los Angeles Rams have advanced to the divisional round of the playoffs for the second year in a row after beating the Carolina Panthers 34-31 on Saturday. The Rams looked like they were going to run away from the Panthers early on, taking a 14-0 lead, but the Panthers stormed back to make it 17-14 at the half. Carolina tied the game in the third quarter and went ahead in the fourth, but after four fourth-quarter lead changes, Los Angeles ended up on top."
"This game was a rematch of the Rams' 31-28 Week 13 loss to the Panthers. In the week leading up to the rematch, Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford was asked what he'd like to do differently when facing Carolina for the second time this season. "I'd like to not throw it to their team," Stafford said of his three turnovers in Week 13."
