Greg Zuerlein‘s leg not only helped the Rams overcome a 13-point deficit in regulation, but it also helped propel Los Angeles to the Super Bowl with a 26-23 win over the Saints in the NFC Championship Game.
With the game on the line and just 19 seconds left in the fourth, Zuerlein hit a 48-yard field go to knot the game up at 23 which was the first time the score was knotted up since the start of the first quarter.
However Zuerlein wasn’t done yet.
After Dante Fowler was able to get int he face of Drew Brees and strike his arm in overtime, the Saints QB fluttered a pass downfield that was picked off by John Johnson who was falling backwards on the play but managed to haul in the INT and set the Rams up with some of their best field position of the game.

Kick is obviously huge in the NFL postseason and it took some major balls from Sean McVay who send Zuerlein out there, tempting fate because if Zuerlein misses the Saints are in excellent position to win the game on the other end of the field.
