The Saints were one game away from Super Bowl LIII New Orleans Saints Malcom Brown Jersey , but fell to the Rams 26-23 in a game marred by a hugely controversial non-call"For just the second time in franchise history, the New Orleans Saints were hosting an NFC Championship game on Sunday afternoon in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Standing in their way to Super Bowl LIII in Atlanta, a rugged Los Angeles Rams team that just a week ago, dismantled a very good Dallas Cowboys team. The Saints came out of the gate firing on all cylinders offensively, getting to the red zone on their first three possessions, and scoring 13 points. the only downside was the 1-for-3 touchdown scoring in the red zone at that point. New Orleans led 13-0 after the end of the first quarter.The Rams however would respond and make the second quarter theirs, scoring 10 points to the Saints’ 0 in the frame. At halftime, the NFC Championship game saw the Saints enjoy a tenuous 13-10 lead, with Los Angeles slated to receive the second half kickoff.In the second half, the Saints would start the way they began the game, stopping the Rams on their first possession, then driving 71 yards for a touchdown from Drew Brees to Taysom Hill to go up 20-10. The Rams would not be denied on their second drive of the half, with Goff driving LA 75 yards to pay dirt on a short pass to tight end Tyler Higbee. The Rams at that point, trailed 20-17.The Rams would eventually tie the game at 20, but the back and forth would continue with New Orleans going up 23-20 on a drive where Saints wide receiver Tommylee Lewis was clearly interfered with in the Rams’ red zone but the referees kept the flag in their pocket. The Rams would find new life and tie the game at 23, sending it to overtime. In overtime, the Saints would get the ball first, but a hit on Brees by Dante Fowler Jr. would lead to an interception that the Rams would convert in a 57-yard field goal by Greg Zuerlein, giving the Rams a 26-23 win and giving Los Angeles a berth to Super Bowl LIII.The Saints had a marvelous season that unfortunately comes to a bitter end.
