The Los Angeles Rams are going to the Super Bowl thanks to a 57-yard field goal by Greg Zuerlien. The defense setup the game winner by intercepting a Drew Brees pass in Overtime.
First the turnover complete with the “Sean Payton” dance celebration. Rams defensive back John Johnson caught the wobbly Brees pass on his back.

The Rams offense only had to pickup a few yards to set Greg Zuerlien up with a 57-yard chance. He knocked it down to take home the NFC Championship and send the Rams to the Super Bowl

Not only did Zuerlien make the kick, he drilled it. That kick might have been good from the other side of the field.
