The Rams advanced to the big game by pulling off a wild comeback against the 49ers. San Francisco was leading 17-7 in the fourth quarter, but the 49ers weren't able to hold on as the Rams clawed their way back to shock the Niners 20-17. The Rams will now become the second team in NFL history to play a Super Bowl in their home stadium. The Rams will also be going up against a Bengals team coached by Zac Taylor, who was on the Rams' coaching staff the last time Los Angeles made the Super Bowl back in 2018. The Bengals are headed to the NFL's biggest game after shocking the Chiefs in Kansas City. The Bengals tied an AFC title game record by overcoming an 18-point deficit to beat the Chiefs in overtime, 27-24. The Bengals will be headed to the Super Bowl for the third time in franchise history and first time in 33 years.
