The Rams will travel to Tampa Bay to face the Buccaneers in a battle to advance to the NFC championship game.
After the Bengals and 49ers, both underdogs, outscored their opponents in their division-round games on Saturday, the Rams will try to continue the trend against the Buccaneers.
Los Angeles earned a 34-24 win during the team’s final meeting with Tampa Bay, which came in Week 3. The Buccaneers haven’t recorded a win against the Rams since 2019, a year before Tom Brady became the franchise quarterback.
Coming off a 34-11 win against the Cardinals on wild card weekend, the Rams will face the challenge of earning a road win. Quarterback Matt Stafford completed 13 of 17 passes for 202 yards with two touchdowns. He also rushed on six attempts for 22 yards and scored a rushing touchdown. Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. also had one of his best games of the year since he joined the Rams. He had four receptions for 54 yards with a touchdown and completed a deep pass for 40 yards. Beckham, who was paid a large bonus for the win, was also rewarded with a random drug test for his efforts.
Stafford likely will need to rely on Beckham, Cooper Kupp and the rest of the Rams’ wide receiving corps on Sunday after Tampa Bay’s defense allowed just 95 total rushing yards against the Eagles last week.
Brady helped the Buccaneers win 34-15 against the Eagles in the wild card game and completed 29 of 27 passes for 271 yards with two touchdowns. Running backs Ke’Shawn Vaughn and Giovanni Bernard also had two rushing touchdowns against Philadelphia. The Bucs limited the Eagles to just 122 total passing yards and 61 total rushing yards last week, and Brady will be challenged to give the Buccaneers an offensive boost. However, All-Pro right tackle Tristan Wirfs and Pro Bowl center Ryan Jensen suffered ankle injuries in the winning effort and were limited in practice this week. Wirfs is a late scratch, officially ruled out on Sunday. Jensen will play, but he won’t be 100%.
The latest development up front will no doubt affect the Bucs’ game plan, leave Tom Brady vulnerable and limit his ability to move the ball.
The Buccaneers are a three-point favorite at home. according to fandueI Kickoff is scheduled for 3:05 pm ET.
