Los Angeles Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein converted on a 57-yard field goal in overtime to send the team to an overtime victory over the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Championship Game.
After the Rams secured an interception in overtime, it was Zuerlein that was sent out to make a long field goal on fourth down, and he showed exactly why head coach Sean McVay had confidence in him to make the kick.
And in all honesty, Zuerlein's kick probably would have been good from 65 yards or so given the amount of leg he put on this one.

Of course, this wasn't a game without controversy, as many are talking about the missed pass interference call that took place towards the end of regulation. That eventually led to the Rams having a chance to tie the game on another Zuerlein field goal, which sent things into overtime.
Now, McVay's squad will wait to find out who they will play in the Super Bowl, with the Kansas City Chiefs and New England Patriots set to face off at Arrowhead Stadium.
There's no doubt that this is a huge moment for the Rams, with the team certainly proving throughout the season that they had the talent needed to make a deep run in the postseason.
No matter who the opponent is in Atlanta, the Rams are going to have a great chance at capturing a Super Bowl crown.
