The Rams have high hopes for a Super Bowl run this season. But how has the franchise fared in the Big Game in the past?

The Los Angeles Rams would be the second of only one of the Super Bowl winners in the past 10 years to break this trend.

But it was Stafford and the Rams who delivered the final blow. The MVP frontrunner would find tight end Colby Parkinson for a 19-yard touchdown with only 38 seconds left, giving Los Angeles a 34-31 lead they would not relinquish.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford passed Kurt Warner for most postseason passing touchdowns in franchise history (16) in Saturday's Wild Card round matchup against the Panthers.

The Rams are playing their "home" playoff game in Arizona on Monday night because of the wildfires that are ravaging Los Angeles, but they're doing what they can to make State Farm Stadium in Glendale feel like SoFi Stadium in Inglewood.

Matthew Stafford 'didn't know if I would get there' after an aggravated disk cost him most of training camp. Now he's an NFL MVP candidate.
