Rams earn comeback win over 49ers, will host Super Bowl LVI

Following a scoreless first quarter that saw Los Angeles tight end Tyler Higbee go down with a knee injury, the Rams struck first in the second, as quarterback Matthew Stafford hit MVP candidate Cooper Kupp for a 16-yard touchdown midway through the stanza. Just a few minutes later, 49ers signal-caller Jimmy Garoppolo connected with dynamic wideout Deebo Samuel on a screen pass and saw the speedster race off for a 44-yard score.

Niners kicker Robbie Gould drilled a 38-yard field goal to end the first half and make it a 10-7 game. Garoppolo found tight end George Kittle for a 16-yard score through the air as the only points of the third, and the hosts trailed 17-7 with 15 minutes of play left.

Stafford and Kupp hooked up for another touchdown early in the fourth quarter -- this time from 11 yards away -- and after the next San Francisco drive stalled out near midfield, Los Angeles kicker Matt Gay made a 30-yard field goal to make it 17-17 with 6:53 left in regulation. The Niners went three-and-out on their next possession, the Rams ate up clock on their ensuing drive, which ended with Gay's third field goal, the eventual game-winner.

Garoppolo was intercepted with just over one minute left in the fourth, and Los Angeles was able to go into victory formation.
