High drama. Higher controversy. High pressure. The 2018 NFC Championship between the Los Angeles Rams and New Orleans Saints had more than anyone bargained for.

It's remembered for a single play, but that play isn't even what decided the game. There was still plenty of time for each team's fate to swing any which way. If you're a Saints fan reading this, you probably couldn't care less, but it's all worth remembering exactly how things broke the way they did. What was on the line? What was everyone in the Superdome feeling? What did this game mean for a Rams team looking for their identity? For that, we need to rewind.
